Bank of Portugal issues financial alert
as families start to feel the credit pinch

Debt, seep. 19

DEBT ALERT

Families need to brace
themselves for the tough
economic times that lie
ahead, the Bank of
Portugal predicts. In its
2006 Financial Stability
Report, the Bank
forecasts that thousands
of families who previously
enjoyed relative financial
stability will now struggle
to repay their debts. This
warning follows a decision
last week by the European
Central Bank to raise
interest rates by 25 basis
points to a figure of four
percent. According to
analysts, the ECB rate is
set to climb to a figure
closer to five percent
before the year is out with
consensus being that a
rate of at least 4.5 percent
will be in force within the
next five months.

The Bank of Portugal, sup-
ported by the Finanee Ministry
in its foreeasts, says the fmaneial
outlook is bleak and is eoneemed
that families eould be foreed to re-
evaluate their loans andmortgages.
In some eases they eouldbe foreed
into the desperate aetion of sell-
ing off property due to their in-
ability to meet repayments.

In terms of bad debt, Portu-
guese families were failing to pay
baek €3.2 million eaeh day to
banks, figures for the first months
of the year indieate.

The total forbad debt eurrently
stands at €2.2 billion, with mort-
gages the area where most eon-
sumers are now finding it impos-
sible to keep up with their
monthly instalments.

Police and prosecutors
clash over torture claims

The fact that prosecutors have taken the unprecedented measure of formally accusing police detectives of committing a number
of crimes during an investigation, has created a stir in the legal system and could see a mother convicted for killing her daughter,
freed.

A total of five police detectives
from Portugal’s elite Policia
Judiciaria (P J) detective unit were
charged over the weekend for
physically attacking and tortur-
ing Leonor Cipriano, the mother

of nine year-old Joana, who dis-
appeared from her F igueira home
in Portimao, in 2004.

The case has also gained inter-
national significance when it
emerged that one of the investi-

gators chargedby prosecutors, is
actively involved in the search for
Madeleine McCann.

Mrs Cipriano, having been
left with two black eyes, had in
2005 accused eight Portimao PJ
members of torture and intimi-
dation.

Mrs Cipriano covered the na-
tion ’ s front pages back then with
pictures of her swollen black
eyes, allegedly caused by mem-
bers of the P J in order to have her
confess her daughter’s murder
and reveal her subsequent
whereabouts.

According to Mrs Cipriano,
she was forced to kneel on glass
ashtrays during interrogations,
with her head covered by a bag,
before being brutally beaten in an
attempt to force her to confess.

The officers, have since denied
the accusations, claiming that she
threw herself down a flight of
stairs. No evidence exists to sup-
port either set of allegations, as
the interrogations were, as re-
portedly described by the PJ, ‘ in-
formal interrogative sessions’ .

One of the police officers ac-
cused of ‘torturing’ Mrs Cipriano
is Gon9lao Amaral, who is also
one of the investigators involved
with the search for Madeleine
McCann.

Prior to the formal accusation
by the prosecutor’s office in
Portimao, Mr Amaral had al-
ready made the headlines for the
wrong reasons in Britain, when
UK media gave extensive cover-
age to his “two-hour lunches”
and consumption of alcoholic
beverages during these lunch-
eons.

Back in 2005, alleged police
brutality victim Leonor
Cipriano, along with her brother,
Joao, were found guilty of grue-
somely murdering eight-year old
Joana Cipriano in September
2004.

The court, consisting of three
judges and four jurors, found
Leonor and Joao Cipriano guilty
of murder, handing them prison
terms of 20 and 19 years respec-
tively.

These sentences have since
been reduced to terms of 1 6 years
each.

Since the verdict, a number of
the country’s leading lawyers
and judges have spoken out
against the decision. They claim
that a conviction was almost im-
possible due to the fact that the
child’s body was never found,
therefore lacking the crucial evi-
dence that a murder had in fact
taken place and that this alone.

should have cast sufficient doubt
for the court to absolve the two
accused.

In comments to The Portu-
gal News this week the
Ciprianos’ lawyer, Joao Grade,
said he was confident that he
would be able to clear his clients
once their appeal was heard, as
he believed their guilt had not
been proven beyond a reason-
able doubt.

He also failed to rule out the
possibility that Joana had been
sold, especially after someone
linked to the family made a
€50,000 bank deposit in the days
after her disappearance.

A letter written by Joao from
jail to Leonor, which was inter-
cepted by the authorities, also
made reference to the exchange of
cash and that “a grown-up Joana
would one day probably return
to Portugal”.

However, the court, in read-
ing out its verdict, said it felt
there was adequate forensic evi-
dence found at Joana’ s home, the
crime scene, such as human
blood found in the freezer and
blood stains on the walls and
floors (though laboratories were
unable to prove the blood was
that of Joana) to find the two
accused guilty of murder.

NHS

aims to

slash

qDeration

waiting

lists

Before the end of this year
the Ministry of Health aims
to reduce operation waiting
times from six to five
months, the joint state
secretary for Health,

Carmen Pignatelli, pledged
this week.

During an interview with radio
station Antena 1 , the state secre-
tary confirmed that should this
be achieved, patient waiting lists
could be shorted by 20,000 peo-
ple.

“Our predictions are that by
the end of the year, 200,000 peo-
ple will be on the waiting list for
an operation, and that their wait-
ing time will be of five months”.

There are presently 220,000
people awaiting some or of sur-
gical intervention in Portugal,
where the average waiting time is
six months.

She also announced that next
year the Health Ministry is in-
tending to launce a website where
patients can checkhow long it will
take before they are operated, and
on what date they will be oper-
ated on.

A musical j oumey at the Garbe

a John Dalton is a man with the world at his fingertips. Musically fluent in
three different types of harp, he took listeners through an enthralling
journey of the history of the harp - the first evening of its kind in the
Algarve.

During a delicious Indian din-
ner in the Garbe ’s ‘Raj’ restau-
rant, John Dalton, or ‘Harp
John’ , as he is better known, took
those fortunate enough to have
booked their seats, on a mystical
voyage complete with back-
ground music. From the early
origins of the harp buried some-
time in ancient Egyptian myths,
he recounted a colourful and vivid
j oumey that kept listeners on the
edge of their seats. Through the
courts of royalty to Celtic folk-
lore, the talented musician por-
trayed in detail how the harp has
been both a symbol ofbeauty and
wealth, as well as an object of
desire and passion.

Many were the comments of
how unexpectedly engrossing
the evening had been, made even
more magical with the spellbind-
ing sounds he produced on two
of his harps.

It was Harp John’s first visit
to the Algarve, but if the reactions
of those present are to go by, it
will certainly not be his last.

ture events with Harp John, con-

Madeleine: Police look for ‘body’

The scene at Odiaxere on Thursday morning. The broad location mentioned in the anonymous letter was swarming with press, cars

and satellite vehicles, but no police presence. (Photo: the Portugal News / Paul Luckman)

AMI #5101

Fireman’s body found
after nine day seareh

The body of an 1 8-year-old fireman who fell into the Douro river last
week whilst testing a boat’s engine was found on Thursday after a
nine day search.

The body was discovered
just after 08h00, a short distance
from where the youth had re-
portedly fallen into the murky
waters. The body was taken to
the local health centre, where it
awaits the official results of an

autopsy, to be announced by
authorities.

Extensive rescue parties
were actively searching for the
fireman since his disappearance
on June 6th. However, the ex-
tension of the river by the ‘Old

Port’ area, one of the Douro’ s
widest stretches with depths
of 30 to 40 metres and the un-
dulations and debris found on
the riverbed made the process
significantly more compli-
cated.

Portuguese police have spent the latter
half of the week following up on ciaims that
Madeieine McCann iies buried 15
kiiometres from where she was abducted
on the night of May 3. Poiice sources
admitted on Thursday searches in the
area north of Odiaxere had commenced as
eariy as Wednesday morning.

Portuguese police were this
week taking serious an anony-
mous letter stating Madeleine’s
body is hidden in deserted scrub-
land under rocks.

But they were concerned that
the scene could have been con-
taminated by the dozens of j our-
nalists who visited the site the
past few days. It was also feared
that a helicopter used by a televi-
sion channel could have dis-
persed evidence should this lat-
est information prove to be true.

Police also said the task of
sniffer dogs, brought in late
Wednesday, would now have
also been made more difficult.

The letter was sent to newspa-
per De Telegraaf and passed on
to the Portuguese Policia
Judiciaria(PJ).

It seemed to vaguely point to
an area north of Odiaxere, north
east of Praia da Luz from where
four-year old Madeleine was
snatched 43 days ago.

The two Dutch j oumalists who
wrote the article said they had
been to the scene prior to publish-
ing their story, but had been un-
able to pinpoint the location.

While police would usually be
reluctant to invest huge resources
in following up on an anonymous
lead, the letter’ s contents are be-
ing taken seriously. It is thought
to be similar to one sent to the
same Dutch newspaper in 2006,
giving details of the rough loca-
tion of the bodies of two Belgian
girls, Stacey Lemmens, seven,
and her step-sister, Nathalie
Mahy, 10. They disappeared
while playing outside last year
and their bodies were found on
June 29, a day after De Telegraaf
received two maps marked with
crosses and hand- written text.

Meanwhile, Chief Inspector
Olegario Sousa confirmed police
were at the scene, though he told
the The Portugal News the map
was “not very specific”.

Mr Sousa, who had on
Wednesday consistently denied
police were in the area, admitted

they had acted swiftly to the new
information and had been at the
scene that morning.

However, another police
source has said the information
provided by De Telegraaf was
“detailed” and revealed a “level
of consistency”.

The source stressed this latest
development is being dealt with
as “a lead, and not a certainty”.

Portuguese police have also
confirmed they have received no
details from their Moroccan
counterparts regarding a poten-
tial sighting in the country which
Kate and Gerry McCann visited
earlier this week.

Portuguese police are eagerly
waiting for confirmation of
whether or not the Marrakech
fuel station where the alleged
sighting took place is equipped
with CCTV.

Chief Inspector Sousa told
The Portugal News last week:
“Even if there were cameras, we
still don’ t know if they had film”.

Norwegian Mari Olli, 45, who
lives in Spain with her British
husband is adamant she saw
Madeleine in Morocco on May
9, six days after her abduction.
Police took her statement on
May 20 and 21.

Police have this week once
again confirmed they have re-
ceived “some” forensic results,
and are awaiting additional find-
ings.

Police have named one sus-
pect, an expatriate Briton living
in the Algarve, but have made no
arrests for lack of evidence.

Parents distressed

Richard Edwards of the Daily
Telegraph reported on Thursday
that Gerry and Kate McCann’s
anguish deepened as police fol-
lowed the anonymous tip off .
He reported that a source close
to the family said they were with
Portuguese detectives when
news of the letter came through.
“They found the whole thing
very upsetting,” the source said.

“There was talk of a body and
Kate was particularly distressed.
It is being taken as seriously as
any other line of inquiry.”

Richard Edwards had also spo-
ken to Philomena McCann,
Madeleine ’ s aunt, who said that
the potential lead is upsetting and
said she may fly out from her
home in Glasgow to be with the
parents in the Algarve.

Ransom Demand

At the time of going to press,
it appeared a thorough police
search had still not been insti-
gated. Meanwhile a Spanish TV
news channel announced an exclu-
sive in their 11am bulletin an-
nouncing a 5 0 million pound ran-
som had been received for the re-
turn of Madeleine who is still safe
and well. They reported the
source of their information to be
Scotland Yard.

New rules for organie food sector

EU agriculture and rural development commissioner Mariann Fischer Boel (L) and German Minister for Food, Agriculture and
Consumer Protection Horst Seehofer (R) address the media during the EU Agriculture Council meeting at the EU headquarters in

Luxembourg on Tuesday. (Photo: EPA/Nicolas Bouvy)

European Union agriculture ministers
have reached a political agreement on a
new regulation on organic production
and labelling, which will be simpler for
both farmers and consumers.

The new rules set out a eom-
plete set of objeetives, principles
and basic rules for organic pro-
duction, and include a new per-
manent import regime and a more
consistent control regime.

The use of the EU organic logo
will be mandatory, but it can be
accompanied by national or pri-
vate logos. The place where the
products were farmed has to be
indicated to inform consumers.

F ood will only be able to carry
an organic logo if at least 95 per-
cent of the ingredients are or-
ganic. Butnon-organic products
will be entitled to indicate organic
ingredients on the ingredients list
only.

The use of genetically modi-
fied organisms will remain pro-
hibited.

It will now be made explicit
that the general limit of 0.9 per-
cent for the accidental presence

of authorised GMOs will also
apply to organic products. There
will be no changes in the list of
authorised substances for organic
farming.

The new rules also create the
basis for adding rules on organic
aquaculture, wine, seaweed and
yeasts.

Mariann Fischer Boel, Com-
missioner for Agriculture and
Rural Development, said: “This
is an excellent agreement which
will help consumers to recognize
organic products throughout the
EU more easily and give them
assurances of precisely what
they are buying. Organic food is
a successful and growing market
and I hope that this new set of
rules will provide the framework
to allow this growth to continue
- through a combination of mar-
ket demand and the entrepreneur-
ship of European farmers.”

Bilderbergers’ road
map for next 12 months

The uitra-secretive group known as the Biiderbergers, gathered for their
55'" annuai congress at the Ritz-Cariton Hotei in Istanbui on May 3U*to
June 3'^' to put the finishing touches to Turkey’s accession to the
European Union, overcome the threat of ciimate change and to map out
the future roie of Iran in the conflicts presentiy raging in Afghanistan and
Iraq, according to Jim Tucker, head of the American Free Press agency.

Bilderberg takes its name from
a Dutch hotel where in the early
1950s, the first meeting took
place under the aegis of Holland’ s
Prince Bernard.

The Bilderberg meetings last
nearly three days - from a Thurs-
day night until Sunday lunch-
time - and are always surrounded
with great secrecy and massive se-
curity measures.

Jim Tucker, who has devoted
most of his working life to expos-
ing what he terms “the manipu-
lators and masterminds” behind
world events, in an e-mail to The
Portugal News said that a source
within the Ritz-Carlton Hotel
had informed him last week that
among the 135 bankers, politi-
cians, news media chiefs and in-
dustrialists attending this year’ s
meeting were Portugal’ s former
prime minister Francisco Pinto
Balsemao, who is now chairman
and chief executive officer of
Impresa, and Durao Barroso,
president of the European Com-
mission and also a former prime
minister of Portugal.

Other attendees were family
members of the Rothschild and
Rockefeller banking groups -

Timothy Geithner, President of
the Federal Reserve Bank, New
York - Jorma Ollila, chairman
Royal Dutch Shell - Henry
Kissinger, adviser to US Presi-
dent George W. Bush and pres-
ently chairman of Kissinger As-
sociates USA - Jean-Claude
Trichet, governor of the European
Central Bank- Peter Sutherland,
chairman British Petroleum pic
and also chairman of Goldman

Sachs International - Martin
Wolf, associate editor of The Fi-
nancial Times.

According to Jim Tucker, this
year’ s meeting represented “the
final push for the Big Business led
world corporate government”.
He also said that delegates had
agreed a “Law of the Sea Treaty”,
whereby countries would surren-
der the sovereignty of their seas
to the United Nations.

Portugal’s first toothpaste turns 7 5

Even though competition has grown immeasurabiy, Couto’s
toothpaste, once known as Couto’s Medicinai Paste and responsibie
for introducing the nation to orai hygiene habits, is stiii as popuiar as
ever 75 years after its introduction.

F irst aired on TV in the 1 970 ’ s
under the slogan “it’s on every-
body’s lips”, the advert showed
Portugal how important oral hy-
giene was for good overall health.

Originally sold exelusively in
pharmaeies, the paste is eurrently
sold in supermarkets but is pro-
dueed in limited quantities given

the high quality of the produet
and the range of other brands
available.

Now manufaeturing 500,000
tubes a year, which for legal rea-
sons had to lose the wording ‘me-
dicinal’ , it is produced in a quan-
tity that is less than half of what
was distributed in 1998.

Even so, 75 years after first
hitting Portugal’s shelves, the
paste remains popular and is still
one of Portugal’ s best loved and
most remembered products. To
celebrate its anniversary a pic-
ture of the tube this week made

per.

gional financing.

Joao Jardim said at the time
he was standing down as presi-
dent of the Regional Govern-
ment to seek a fresh mandate in
order to “face multiple new
problems”.

Jardim, 64, has been head of
Madeira’ s Regional Government
since 1978 and has become em-
broiled in bitter dispute with Lis-
bon’ s centre-left Socialist gov-
ernment over the ruling party’s
new legislation on regional fi-
nance, approved by Portugal’s
president earlier this year.

Jardim reinforced his PSDpar-
ty’s overall majority in the elec-
tions.

As well as cutting funds to
Portugal’ s autonomous regions,
the new legislation is aimed at
limiting debts run up by regional
government and also prevents the
Portuguese Treasury from taking
on extra debt from the regions.

Madeira wins battle with
Lisbon over funding

A court ruling has forced the Portuguese Government to transfer cash to
the Madeiran regional government. Lisbon had said it would not hand it
over due to Madeira incurring excessive loans.

The Finance Ministry con-
firmed this week that it had al-
ready signed off the authorisa-
tion to transfer the funds it froze
at the end of last year.

The Government was forced
to go back on its decision after a
ruling by the Funchal Adminis-

trative and Fiscal Tribunal on
June 6, saying Lisbon had to hand
over 24. 6 million euros in regional
funds to Madeira.

Alberto Joao Jardim, head of
the regional government in Ma-
deira, hadresigned earlier thisyear
in protest at the new law on re-

Operation Global
‘cleans up’ South

A widespread police opera-
tion that was conducted by
more than 250 officers in the
Algarve and Alentejoto ‘clear’
the regions of lighter crimes has
resulted in the arrest of 23 indi-
viduals, as well as the seizure
of 540 doses of hashish. Police
also confiscated cash of a mo-
torist deemed to be travelling
with ‘too much money. ’
Eightpeople were detained for
drink-driving, three for disobe-
dience, and seven for driving il-
legally in the weekend operation.

Two men were detained for
drug trafficking and a further
three for being in Portugal ille-
gally. Ten of the detained are
from the Algarve.

The 20,000 euros seized in
cash - the maximum legally per-

mitted amount to be carried on
one person is 10,000 euros -
was found on a person traveling
from Portalegre and was seized
after being considered ‘aneco- 1

Reviving Euro-Africa cooperation a priority for Lisbon

Portugal hopes to use its
upcoming European Union
presidency to re-launch dia-
logue and cooperation between
the 27-nationbloc and Africa, a
senior Lisbon official said.

“We plan to organize a sec-
ond EU-Africa summit at the
end of the year in Lisbon,

where we hope a new, global
strategy, currently under nego-
tiation, will be adopted”, said
Manuel Lobo Antunes, the state
secretary for European affairs,
to the Western European Union
inter-parliamentary forum in
Paris.

The December summit, Mr

Lobo Antunes said, “reflects
Portugal’s desire to re-launch
cooperation with sub-Saharan
Africa, to which it is linked by
history, culture and geographical
proximity”.

The issues of “immigration,
security, human rights, climate
change and energy will be on the

agenda of this dialogue”, he
said, adding that Africa’s “cy-
cle of poverty and conflict”
must be broken with “funda-
mental” help from Europe.

“Follow-up mechanisms”
would be needed to assure that
summit decisions were imple-
mented, he said. TPN/Lusa

Socialist leader urges European Parliament to

For only 60 cents

The head of the European Parliament’s Socialist bench has called
on the bloc’s legislature to work “with speed” to aid the process of
re-launching negotiations for a European treaty.

German MEP Martin Schultz
made the appeal Monday during
a meeting of the European Social-
ist Party ’ s leadership in Lisbon,
which was attended by Portu-
guese Prime Minister Jose
Socrates, the head of the ruling
Socialist Party.

Mr Schultz expressed his sup-

port for the “general lines” of the
upcoming Portuguese EU presi-
dency that were presented by Mr
Socrates, “above all in respect to
the imperative of privileging
trans-Atlantic relations, taking
into account the Latin American
sub-continent, especially Brazil”.

Among other priorities, the

Portuguese leader reiterated Lis-
bon’ s commitment to use its
presidency, starting July 1, to
deal with the “reform of the Con-
stitutional treaty, the new cycle
of the Lisbon Strategy, and the
reaffirmation of Europe in the
world through a global policy”.

Tougher timeshare laws

Worth over€10.5bn and sustaining more than 40,000 jobs, the
timeshare industry is growing ever bigger. Buying the right to spend
a fixed amount of time each year at a hoiiday destination, be it a
house, boat or caravan, has proved an irresistibie bargain to many:
85,000 new units come on the market every year, the European
Commission reported this week on its officiai website.

EU laws in place since 1994
are now being updated to reflect
the changing market. The new
rules will cover new products
such as discount holiday clubs,
and boat and caravan
timeshares.

People buying into travel dis-
count clubs - paying member-
ship fees of up to €20,000 to ac-
cess a booking site promising
discounted air tickets and ac-
commodation-will also be pro-
tected.

And protection is sorely
needed, despite the presence of
industry watchdogs. Stories
abound like that of the French
owners who paid over €9,500 to

a Portuguese company which
promised them €17,450 for their
timesharing-weeks - yet they
never received a penny.

Mis-selling of such products is
rife, with fraudsters approaching
people in the street to offer spe-
cial deals, some requiring illegal
“maintenance fees”.

People are being denied their
rights, explains consumer com-
missioner MeglenaKuneva, add-
ing that the new rules establish a
level playing field for business.

People buying shares in houses
aheady have the right to a cooling-
off period of at least 1 0 days, dur-
ing which it is illegal for down
payments to be required and okay

for them to change their minds
about a contract. They are also
entitled to accurate information
about what they are buying.

The new rules extend these
minimum requirements to cover
boats and caravans, contracts
that last for less than three years
andpeople selling or exchanging
timeshares.

“Long-term holiday prod-
ucts” are sold under a bewilder-
ing variety of contracts and
names, from holiday discount
clubs and international travel
clubs to vacation exchange clubs.
Whatever the format, anyone
signing up for them will now be
protected.

Portugalnon-committal overlevel
of Zimbabwe representation at
Euro- Africa summit

we’ll find your number

and we’ll find it

within one minute!

Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amado has downplayed the issue of
the level of sanction-hobbled Zimbabwe’s representation at the
Europe-Africa summit Lisbon plans to host in December during its
turn at the EU helm, saying all heads of state need not be present at
the gathering.

“I can’t think of a single sum-
mit held between the European
Union and another regional or-
ganization where all the heads of
state and government were
presenf ’, Mr Amado told a news
conference, when questioned on
opposition from some European
quarters to the participation of
Zimbabwean President Robert
Mugabe.

“The summit is under prepa-
ration”, Mr Amado said. “We are
working above all on the meet-
ing ’ s agenda with our European
partners and with our African
partners, and as to the question
of specific participation, in time
we’ll see who comes and who

doesn’t come”.

Last week, a British diplomatic
source told Lusa that London
wanted a “useful and produc-
tive” summit and hoped that a
compromise over Zimbabwe’s
representation could be found.

Britain headed the opposition
to Harare’s participation in the
Europe-Africa summit planned
for 2003 in Portugal that aborted
the initiative.

The EU imposed selective
sanctions, including a travel ban.

on Zimbabwe’s leadership in
2002 in protest over Harare’s
human rights record.

Mr Amado also said the
upcoming Portuguese EU presi-
dency would give “priority” to
the paralyzed Middle East peace
process, promising that one ofhis
first trips abroad after Lisbon
assumes the presidency on July
1 would be to that conflict-ridden
region in the company of the EU
high representative Javier Solana.

Emigrants the
focus of Day of
Portugal

Portuguese President Cavaco Silva has
cautioned the “state not to distance itself or
to cease resolving the problems of
emigrant communities”. The President’s
comments were made on the eve of
national day commemorations, also
referred to as Cam5es Day or Portuguese
Communities Day.

President Cavaco Silva has
called on Portuguese Consulates
scattered across the world to
“ensure support structures” for
emigrant communities.

The President’s comments
came as the government an-
nounced massive price hikes in
the cost of passports at Portu-
guese consulates.

In the traditional June 10'^"
presidential address, The Presi-
dent called on consulates to “keep
Portuguese, Portuguese”, as “it
is not always easy to keep ties
with Portugal, affection and nos-
talgia is not always enough to
ensure the preservation of con-
nections emigrants have with
their origins.

The President also stressed
the need to encourage Portuguese
emigrants to invest funds earned
abroad in their country of birth.
The President will be travelling
to the United States at the end of

the month, where he will be meet-
ing with the large Portuguese
communities residing inNewark,
New Bedford and Boston.
Following the presidential ad-
dress, which the government said
afterwards is “in exact accord-
ance” with Mr Socrates’ position
on expatriate communities, came
news that the cost of issuing a
Portuguese passport at consu-
lates abroad has risen by 63 per-
cent.

The news was made official in
this past Monday’s edition of
the Government Gazette.

A passport will now cost 70
euros, up by 27 euros.

Children aged under- 12 will
now have to pay 50 euros for a
passport, and senior citizens
aged 65 and above will be asked
to pay 60 euros.

An ‘express’ passport will cost
an extra 3 5 euros, while an ‘urgent’
one will cost 45 euros more.

The cost of acquiring Portu-
guese nationality has also been in-
flated. Previously, a ‘new’ citi-
zen would have been asked to
pay 92 euros for their first pass-
ports, but will henceforth be re-
quired to pay 175 euros.

Visa costs will also sky-
rocket. A transit visa has gone up
from 1 0 to 60 euros, which is also
the cost for a short-stay visa (one
to 90 days).

Formula One, here I eome!

A nine-year-old aspiring to become the world’s youngest Formula One driver hurtling around go-kart
tracks in Portugal in excess of 100 kilometres an hour and leaving competitors more than twice his
age lagging behind in the slow lane, is a rare occurrence. The Portugal News investigates.

Having a son so young who
regularly outstrips older rivals is
enough to make any mum and dad
proud, more espeeially that it is
very mueh on the eards, that one
day he will be j oining the ranks of
Bemie Ecelestone’s Formula
One motor raeing Grand Prix eir-
euit.

Fingers crossed, Julie and Pe-
ter Griffiths are willing their son
Ryan on to “follow his dream” of
becoming the world’s youngest
ever Grand Prix driver, even
though they know that the sport
is growing in popularity and at-
tracting more and more young-
sters each year.

“He is nine-years-old and al-
ready representing Portugal’s
national go-kart Cadets team
(under- 16s), and attracting the
attention of several would-be

sponsors and talent scouts from
Grand Prix car racing syndicates,”
Julie told me.

The “pit-mum”, as she de-
scribes herself, explains that even
though Ryan is in the early stages
of his racing career he is already
more than looking forward to
progressing from Go-Karting to
A 1 racing through to Grand Prix
2 and eventually Formula One.

Indeed, driving for Portugal in
a recent international go-kart
event in Oporto his skills so at-
tracted the attention of the owner
of A1 racing, Tony Teixeira, that
he was invited to fly back to the
Algarve in the tycoon’s private
jet airliner.

Ryan is also under the spy-
glass of Dino Di Geralamno,
president of the Italian firm that
built the youngster’s Topcart

vehicle equipped with a Comer
engine. During the past six
months, Di Geralamno has made
several trips from Italy to watch
Ryan compete, at both club and
international levels in tourna-
ments held across Portugal, in-
cluding race venues in Braga and
Leiria.

At club level, Ryan races for
the Algarve-based Sul-Kart team
in Almancil, which he joined in
early 2006 after returning with
his mum, dad and younger sister
Jessica from Australia where the
family had lived for nearly a year .

Before being selected to race
for Sul-Kart he had to pass a set
of stringent driving exams in-
cluding speed tests, manoeu-
vring skills and the ability to
maintain self-control when un-
der pressure from other drivers.

During the speed tests he made
light of the 43 -second target of
completing one circuit of the
track finishing in 3 8 seconds and
is now competing with drivers
as old as 21.

His first experience of go-
karting was in Melbourne down-
under when he was eight, and
within a matter of days he was
being describedby his peers and
track owners as “a natural” as he
took on 14-year-olds and more
than held his own.

Ryan described how his love
ofFormula One racing inspires his
every waking moment. He idol-
ises the Schumacher brothers and
has set his heart on following in
the footsteps of Lewis Hamil-
ton, currently Britain’ s youngest
ever Formula One driver who
made his way to the top flight via
go-karting.

Julie told me that the stringent
health and safety measures em-
ployed by the go-kart racing in-
dustry, are more than sufficient
to allay any fears she and her hus-
band might have of anything un-
toward happening to Ryan in
what is now an extremely com-
petitive sport.

“You wouldn’t believe the
lengths the organisers go to in
ensuring that drivers are pro-
tected at all costs - if s unbeliev-
able but most necessary,” she
said.

Ryan’s Portuguese birth cer-
tificate allows him to drive for
Portugal, but would not dis-

qualify him from at some time in
the future representing Britain as
he also holds a British passport.

But right now, with the esca-
lating expense of hiring mechan-
ics, race entry fees and all the other
overheads associated with the
sport - just one race can cost as

much as 2,500 euros to enter -
Ryan’ s mum and dad are hoping
that sooner rather than later, a
sponsor will venture forth to
help such a talented youngster
achieve his ambition of reaching
the top in the world ofFormula
One racing.

Further steps towards
the Single European Sky

a The European Commission reported this week that it has adopted new
rules for more interoperability between air traffic management (ATM)
systems in Europe.

This increased cooperation
aims to set common technical
and procedural rules and thereby
remove barriers to the harmo-
niseduse of ATM systems. The
new legislation complements
two regulations adopted last
year in order to modernise air
traffic management systems
within the Single European Sky.

Vice-President Jacques
Barrot, Commissioner for
Transport said: “This legal in-
strument is another milestone in
the implementation of the Sin-
gle Sky, as it supports the coor-
dinated introduction of a new
technical solution in air traffic
management systems through-
out Europe.”

The new regulation on ‘flight
message transfer protocol’ will
allow the use of internet proto-
col in communication systems
between air traffic control
units.

These communication sys-
tems support the coordination

procedures between air traffic
control units, as laid down in the
‘ coordination and transfer’ regu-
lation and between air traffic

services units and controlling
military units, in line with the
‘ flexible use of airspace ’ regula-
tion.

Students hit the waves for the Dukes

Founded in Great Britain in
1 956 by the Duke of Edinburgh,
the award - a programme that
aims to ehallenge and develop
new skills amongst young peo-
ple - was introdueed to Portugal
by the Duke ofBragau9a, in 1 987.

Over the past 20 years an ar-
ray of projects have been held,
though this year’s, part of cel-
ebrations for the Portuguese ver-
sion’ s 20* anniversary, was pos-
sibly the most exciting yet.

Nearly 50 students, along with
40 Portuguese Navy sailors and
a handful of monitors and teach-
ers belonging to Lisbon’s Santa
Barca, St. Dominic’s, St. Julian’s,
and Colegio Didalvi secondary
schools, all shared the NTM
‘ Creoula’ s comfortable confines,
though with three bunk beds to
each compartment, privacy and
space was one luxury that had to
be left at home.

Measuring approximately 68
metres in length, the four-mast
vessel was originally built in 1 93 7
and closely resembles the English
Tea-Clipper, the Cutty Sark.

As well as building team spirit,
encouraging interaction and
teaching youths independence,
the programme also aims to build
self-confidence, develop organi-
sational capacity, bring out lead-
ership qualities and teach partici-
pants to feel accomplished and
satisfied with the new skills they
learn.

The vessel departed from Lis-
bon’ s Alfeite Naval base on
Monday June 1 1 * and arrived in
Portimao, Algarve, the following
day at 15h00.

Seasickness aside, most of the
students were thrilled with their

thing surprisingly all of the teens
were more than happy to do!

An unexpected surprise was
the sighting of dolphins on Mon-
day evening, something that at
least for one delighted student,
would remain the most memora-
ble part of the voyage.

Luisa de Sa Cameiro Beirao,
official representative of the
Premio Infante D. Henrique,
waiting at the docks in Portimao
when the students arrived and
shared her enthusiasm of the
project.

“It is very important for build-
ing qualities and strengths for
these children’s futures”, she
said, “Every year we organise
these projects, through the
premio, and it is so rewarding to
see the skills and progress that
these children make. Sometimes
through such situations that en-
courage teamwork and interac-
tion, it can bring out a new facet
or quality in a personality. It
helps them to grow and gives
them skills that hopefully will be
of use in their adult lives”.

One lucky ‘ sailor’ also had his
grandparents waiting on the
docks. Holidaying in the Algarve,
the couple anxiously awaited the
vessel’s arrival and expressed
their j oy at their grandson taking
part in the programme.

Switzerland says Portuguese
border technology is the best

Switzerland has informed the
European Union that it plans to
join the bloc’s free-movement
Schengen zone through the use of
the Portuguese-developed
“SISone4all” data system.

Swiss officials announced the
move at a meeting in Luxembourg
of the Schengenjoint committee,
which gathers justice and interior

ministers from the EU, Norway,
Iceland and Switzerland, which
shares borders with four EU
member states.

The Swiss decision to adopt
the transitional Portuguese data
system means it can join the
Schengen area without waiting
for the conclusion of the group ’ s
delayed SIS II system, which is

expected to be operational to-
wards the end of next year.

The “SISone4all” system, de-
veloped by Portugal ’ s immigra-
tion and border service SEE and
Portuguese company Critical
Software, was adopted by the
Schengen group as a transitional
system last December. TPN/

“open doors” for entrepreneurs

Lisbon, New
Delhi seek
stronger ties

Macao wants to be
hub between Pan-
Pearl River region,

Lusophone bloc

The Special Administrate Region of Macao is strongly
committed to undertaking the role of a hub to stimulate
economic relations between the 11 members of the
Pan-Pearl River Delta and the Portuguese-speaking
world, the territory’s leader has said.

Chief Executive Edmund Ho
was addressing the 4th F omm for
Cooperation and Development
in the Pan-Pearl River Delta
(PPRD), gathering representa-
tives fromFujian, Jiangxi, Hunan,
Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan,
Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan,
plus Macao and Hong Kong, the
so-called “9+2” group.

Mr Ho recalled that the
Beij ing government created the
F omm for Economic and Trade
Cooperation between China
and Portuguese Language
Countries in 2003 “as an impor-
tant strategy of global diplo-
macy to take advantage of
Macao’s historic, cultural and
linguistic connections with the
Portuguese-speaking world”.

“Macao has spared no ef-
forts, responding to the guide-
lines and wishes of the central
government, to fulfill its func-
tion as a hub and provide a mar-
ket with major potential for

economic development to the
members of the PPRD fomm”,
added Mr Ho, noting: “Total
trade between China and Por-
tuguese-speaking countries has
risen from a value of US$ 10
billion in2003 to US$ 30 billion
today”.

The Macao government has
made great efforts to promote
quality of local services to
members of the PPRD fomm to
allow easier entry into
Lusophone markets and con-
solidate the territory’s role as
an intermediary”, said Ho.

He also underscored that his
government is working to brief
media on the territory ’ s role as
a hub between China and the
eight-state Lusophone bloc, in
addition to raising awareness
over the special functions of the
China-Lusophone Fomm for
Economic and Trade Coopera-

Portugal and India have
discussed the possibility of
“triangular cooperation”
with Angola in the oil and
diamond sectors and
announced their intention
to collaborate in
infrastructure, energy and
agro-industry projects.

The scenario for broad bilat-
eral cooperation was announced
Monday after talks in Lisbon
between Portugal’s No. 2 diplo-
mat, Joao Gomes Cravinho, and
India’ s visiting vice-minister for
foreign affairs, Anand Sharma.

At a joint news conference.
Gomes Cravinho, the state sec-
retary for foreign affairs and co-
operation, said New Delhi had
expressed interest in teaming up
with Portugal in Angola’ s oil and
diamond sectors.

Sharma said there were “good
possibilities of developing areas”
of bilateral cooperation in infra-
stmcture projects, IT and other
technology, energy and environ-
ment projects.

Beyond bilateral cooperation,
Sharma underlined the impor-
tance of Portugal’ s upcoming EU
presidency and New Delhi’s
hopes for stronger trade and in-
vestment links with Europe.

Gomes Cravinho said “highly
technical negotiations” were
underway to build an EU-India
“strategic partnership”.

He noted that Portuguese
President Anibal Cavaco Silva
had visited India in January and
the Prime Minister Jose Socrates
would travel to New Delhi in
November. TPN/Lusa

Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh,
some 83,000 sq. km. (32,000 sq. mi.)
of mountainous territory in the
eastern Himalayas containing over a
million people.

China has claimed Arunachal
Pradesh for a century: during the
Sino-Indian border war of 1 962
Chinese troops briefly occupied
most of the state before
withdrawing and inviting India
to resume negotiations.
However, most Indians thought
the dispute had been more or
less ended during Chinese
premier Wen Jiabao’s visit to
New Delhi in April 2005, when
the two sides agreed on
“political parameters” for
settling both the Arunachal
Pradesh border dispute and
another in the western
Himalayas.

Indians assumed that the new
“political parameters” meant
that China would eventually
recognise India’s control of
Arunachal Pradesh. In return,
India would accept China’s
control of the Aksai Chin, a high-
altitude desert of some 38,000
sq. km. (14,000 sq. mi.) next to
Kashmir. And that might
actually have happened, in the
end — if India had not signed
what amounts to a military
alliance with the United States.
Informed Indians knew perfectly
well that Wen Jiabao ’ s visit was
a last-minute attempt to
persuade India not to sign a ten-
year military cooperation
agreement with the United
States. Two months later Pranab
Mukherj ee, then India’ s foreign
minister, went to Washington
and signed the thing. Yet most
people inNew Delhi managed to
convince themselves that Wen’ s
concessions during his visit were
not linked to India’s decision
about the American alliance.

In June 2006 1 spent two weeks
in New Delhi interviewing
Indian analysts and policy-
makers about India’s strategic
relations with the U S and China.
With few exceptions, their
confidence that India could
“manage” China’ s reaction to its
American alliance was still very
high. “India knows what it is
doing,” insisted Prem Shankar

Jha, former editor of the
Hindustan Times, citing
confidential sources close to
Prime Minister Singh. “It is not
going to make China an enemy. ”
On the face of it, India got a very
good deal in the lengthy
negotiations that led up to the
military cooperation agreement.
It got access not just to current
US military technology but to
the next generation of American
weapons (with full technology
transfer). The Indian military
are predicted to buy $30 billion
of US hardware and software in
the next five years. They got all
sorts of joint training deals,
including US Navy instruction
for Indian carrier pilots. And
Washington officially forgave
India for testing nuclear
weapons in 1998.

This was the only part of the deal
that got much attention in
Washington, where the Bush
administration waged a long
struggle (only recently
concluded) to get Congress to
end US sanctions against
exporting nuclear materials and
technologies to India. Stressing
the military aspects of the new
relationship would only rile the
Chinese, who would obviously
conclude that it was directed
against them. Especially since
America’s closest allies in the
Asia-Pacific region, Japan and
Australia, have also now started
forging closer military relations
with India.

It took a while, but China was
bound to react. Last November,
just before President Hu Jintao ’ s
first visit to India, the Chinese
ambassador firmly stated that
“the entire state (of Arunachal
Pradesh) is a part of China.”
This took New Delhi by
surprise, defence analyst Uday
Bhaskar told the Financial
Times last week: “The Indians
had taken the (2005) political
parameters (for negotiating the
border issue) as Chinese
acceptance of the status quo.”
They should have known better.
It’s mostly petty irritants so far,
but they accumulate over time.
Last month, for example, Indian
Navy ships took part in joint
exercises with the US and
Japanese navies in the western
Pacific, several thousand
kilometres (miles) from home
and quite close to China’s east
coast. Admiral Sureesh Mehta,
chief of naval staff, said the
exercise had “no evil intent,”
and two Indian warships also
spent a day exercising with the
Chinese navy to take the curse
off it — but Beijing knows

Ayearago, Indian foreign policy specialists were confidentthatthey could handle China’s reaction to their American deal. In fact, many of them
seemed to believe that they had taken the Americans to the cleaners: that India would reapall the technology and trade benefits ofthe US deal
without paying any price in terms of its relationship with its giant neighbour to the north. Seen here, more than 20 elephants are engaged in the half
an hour long safari to the fort in Jaipur, India. Informertimes elephants were the mounts of dignitaries and other guests ofthe royalty, bringing
them up the winding paths to the Fort. These days the same experience has been recreated for tourists. (PHOTO: Lusa/EPA/str)

which exercise was the
important one.

Also last month, India cancelled
a confidence-building visit to
China by 107 senior civil
servants. Why? Because Beijing
refused to issue a visa to the one
civil servant in the group who
was from Arunachal Pradesh, on
the grounds that he was already

Chinese and did not need one.
A year ago, Indian foreign policy
specialists were confident that
they could handle China’s
reaction to their American deal.
In fact, many of them seemed to
believe that they had taken the
Americans to the cleaners: that
India would reap all the
technology and trade benefits of

the US deal without paying any
price in terms of its relationship
with its giant neighbour to the
north.

But there was confidence in
Washington, too: a quiet

confidence that once India
signed the ten-year military
cooperation deal with
Washington, its relations with

China would automatically
deteriorate and it would slide
willy-nilly into a full military
alliance with the United States.
Who has taken whom to the
cleaners remains to be seen.

Congo political leader to stay in
Portugal, but says no to asylum

Paul Nsapu Mukulu (R) Director of the League of Electors of Congo, Jane Lnduo Alao Odo (C), Co-Founder and Social Worker of Amel
Centre for Treatment and Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture from Sudan, and Swiss Antoine Madelin, Director of intergovernmental
Organisation International Federation for Human Rights, answer journalist’s questions about the human rights situation, during a press
conference at the Geneva press club in Geneva on Monday (Photo: EPA/Salvatore di Nolfi)

Congolese opposition leader Jean-
Pierre Bemba, whose 60-day
authorisation to stay in Portugal ended
on Monday, plans to stay in Portugal
rather than return to the Congo as
planned, but will not seek political
asylum, according to his press officer.

Mawise Musanganga told
Lusa that the Democratic Repub-
lic of Congo politician, elected as
a Kinshasa senator after losing
landmark presidential polls in
2006, was not going home as there
are “no security guarantees” for
his safe return.

Mr Bemba, granted a two-
month leave of absence by the
Senate to seek medical treatment
in Portugal, is in “good health”,
added Mr Musanganga.

The Congolese opposition
leader will not seek asylum in Por-
tugal because “he has nothing to

do in Europe but much to do in the
Congo”, his press secretary said.

Mr Bemba left the Congo on
April 1 1 after being holed up for
nearly three weeks in South Af-
rica’ s embassy in Kinshasa after
his bodyguards clashed with
army troops in March.

The Congolese oppositionist,
considered to be one of his coun-
try’ s richest men with a fortune
estimated at hundreds of millions
of dollars, has a home in the Al-
garve. He arrived in Portugal with
his wife and five children in his
private jetliner. TPN/Lusa

Europe-Brazil ‘strategic
partnership ’ likely in force next
year - Portuguese Ambassador

The “strategic partnership” planned between the European Union and
Brazil should be implemented next year, following Portugal’s turn in the
EU presidency, Lisbon’s ambassador to Brasilia said.

“Discussion of the bilateral
doeument defining the seope of
the EU-Brazil strategie partner-
ship should take months”. Am-
bassador Franeiseo Seixas da
Costa told Lusa, noting that a
similar seheme with India took
two years.

“But I believe that the partner-
ship with Brazil ean take effeet
next year”, he said, adding that the

final European proposal eould be
eoneluded by July 4, when the
EU-Brazil summit takes plaee in
Lisbon.

“The Brazilian government
will respond to this doeument
later, but the prineiple of the stra-
tegie partnership will be en-
shrined on July 4”, Mr Seixas da
Costa said.

The Portuguese-sponsored

initiative will raise Brazil’ s rela-
tions, with the EU to a level simi-
lar to that enj oyed by the United
States, Canada, China, Japan and
India.

“No one pays more attention
to Brazil’ s interest in the EU than
Portugal”, the ambassador said,
adding that Lisbon also wanted
to re-foeus Europe ’ s attention on
all Latin Ameriea. TPN/Lusa

Car checks leave
99 detained

Oeiras triathlon

A mega police operation that
involved 1 ,900 officers and took
place last weekend throughout
Lisbon, in the regions of central
Lisbon, Cascais, Oeiras,
Amadora, Vila Franca de Xira,
Torres Vedras, Sintra, Odivelas
and Loures, saw ninety-nine
drivers arrested for breaking vari-

ous vehicle-related laws.

Taking place from 19h00 to
OVhOO, targeting drivers, public
transportation and night enter-
tainment venues, more than

5 .200 vehicles were checked and

3 .200 people were breathalysed,
with 200 of these found to be over
the limit.

Forty-seven drivers were de-
tained for the excessive amount
of alcohol in their bloodstreams,
1 5 were detained for not having a
driver’s license, 10 for being in
possession of drugs, five for diso-
bedience, two for being in pos-
session of an illegal weapon, and
two for assaulting police officers.

Around 280 fines for lack of
insurance, MOT inspections,
and other offences were issued.

Inspections at nightclubs and
bars resulted in 200 charges be-
ing brought, mainly for surpass-
ing closing times, lack of respec-
tive licenses, matters of private
security, and selling tobacco and
alcohol to minors.

Once again two local
residents from Sue’s Road
Runners, Jill Edwards &
Amanda Mortimer came first
in their categories in Oeiras
Triathlon last weekend. The

event consisted of swimming
750m, cycling 20km, and
running 5km. These events are

According to a spokesperson
for the National Civil Aviation In-

procedure, stipulated by interna-

safety”.

“When there is a problem with
an emergency exit door, the flight
operator can, and should, proceed
to making the necessary altera-
tions to complete the journey in
full safety”.

Even so, many passengers
opted for a refund, preferring to

Captain Cmz dos Santos, of the
Portuguese Air Line Pilots Asso-
ciation, also explained “not all of
the passengers could travel as one
of the emergency exits was
blocked” and denied that, should
a door burst open during a flight,
the lives of passengers would be
at risk.

“All precautions are taken to
ensure that never happens, but if
the aircraft is tired, it could. If a
door opens mid- flight, explosive
depressurization happens. If
people are sat in their seats with
their safety belts fastened, they
won’t be sucked out like you see
onthemovies. The cabin will be-
come cold and misty, but lives are
not at risk”, he said, before add-
ing, “Depressurization is very
rare”.

Oerias Alive!2007 applauded by critics

Despite the mammoth size of the three-day event, which fea-
tured world-class acts like Linkin Park, Pearl Jam and Smashing
Pumpkins, Oerias Alive! 2007 went without a hitch and received
glowing reviews from critics and concertgoers alike.

Amongst the thousands who flocked to see the event were many
foreigners who made their way to Oeiras from near and far, for
what is hoped to be the first of many annual ‘ Oerias Alive ! ’ con-
certs.

Counting on the full support of Oeiras city hall, the event was
in fact so successful that a second ‘Oerias Alive! ’ has already
been announced for next year, ‘Oeiras Alive! 2008’, which will
take place from July 10*- 12* 2008.

Garden party at the Palace

In order to get people into the summer party spirit, the Brit-
ish-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce has organised a spectacular
garden party, a summer barbeque, which promises to be the out-
door event of the year.

There will be a vast array of prizes to be won in a tombola,
including flights to London, hotel weekends, bottles ofwine, etc.
an ample supply of food prepared by the Grupo Silva Carvalho,
all presented in the luxurious settings of the Palacio Porto Covo
da Bandeira, Lapa, Lisbon, offered by hosts Lusitania Grupo de
Seguros.

Aimed at providing a congenial setting for relaxed networking,
there will also be lively, talented entertainment and the event is
open to all family members over 1 6 years of age. It will be held on
June 22“'*, from 19h30, dress code informal.

Door problems leave Vueling
passengers fuming

Only 30 of more than 1 00 pas-
sengers booked on a Lisbon-Ma-
drid flight with Spanish airline
Vueling were allowed to make the
journey after problems with one of
the aircraft’s front doors led the
pilot to seal off the entire left side
ofthe airbus 320.

Passengers who did complete
the journey were assured by the
captain that there was no reason to
be alarmed and thatall safety meas-
ures were being followed.

Flight operator Vueling also
guaranteed thatthe absence ofpas-
sengers on the left side of the plane
would not cause weight imbal-
ances, and that there were seven
other emergency exits on the air-
craft.

Concerns were raised when the
first passengers to board the plane
was asked to wait on the tarmac
with their luggage. They were
promptly escortedback inside the
terminal building, where they
waited for over an hour before re-
ceiving the information only 30
passengers would be making the
journey that evening.

Boarding with mixed feelings,
those 30 passengers then endured
a further hour’ s delay whilst wait-
ing for a free landing slot inMadrid.

It was also reported that the air-
craft in question was only allowed
to make the flight as it traveled at
an altitude of 10,000 feet (3000
kilometers), an altitude that is ‘ ac-
ceptable’ for a Lisbon-Madrid

ENGLISH DENTAL SURGEON

Dr. Francis Haley

Less is More

In January, I read an article
entitled “W omen Who Do Too
Much.” Immediately, the ideas
resonated with me, I knew at
once that I was one of “them”,
the overworking, overdoing
women. Then I began to exam-
ine areas of my life: specific ar-
eas of excess. My findings and
subsequent, ongoing lifestyle
changes are as follows:

First Category: Work

I used to pride myself on
how hard, how long and how
well I worked — every day. If a
new student called, wanting a
lesson. I’d squeeze him or her
into my already overextended
agenda, overriding dinner, holi-
days and weekends. Then I
started to realize that I was ex-
hausted at week’s end. In es-
sence, I was overworking my-
self and cheating my students
in the process. That’s when I
took active steps to remedy my

situation. And theirs. Now I
have limits on the number of stu-
dents I see in a day and a week.
Plus, no teaching on weekends.
And not on holidays either. That
decision will pay off hand-
somely as June is packed with
more holidays than work days.
Even my Portuguese friends
aren’t sure of the reasons for
some of the holidays, but no one
complains about their existence!

Next: Exercise

I’ve read numerous books
touting daily (meaning 6-7 days
a week) of aerobic sport. F or me
that meant hauling myself to the
gym whether I felt like it, or was
up to it or not. There were days
when the walk to the gym, along
lovely Cascais back roads,
would have been enough. But,
no, I pushed myself to endure
loud music, strenuous “dancing”
or torturing myself on some ma-
chines that often gave me more
aches and pains than I started
with. No more! Now I walk lei-
surely by the sea or in our
neighborhood most days and
when I don’t, so what! In fact,
on the days when I don’t push
my self I often feel better than on
the days when I do. It’s prob-
ably helped that Don and I dis-
covered golf on a recent trip to
the Algarve. In truth, it’s one
game (along with bridge) that I

swore I’d never learn. But the
hotel pro offered a free lesson,
so we went. After two hours
with Carlos Santos, we were
hooked. We borrowed some
clubs, took several lessons with
him and even putted before
breakfast and after dinner. Now
back in Cascais, we have contin-
ued our lessons, this time with
the talented Gordon Y oung. Don
seems to have some natural tal-
ent. I struggle along but am con-
tent to stay outside hearing the
birds and crickets while I hit
some balls and miss others. I was
influenced by an acquaintance,
Andrew, whom I met early in our
lessons stage, who said, “I play
golf but I don’t keep score.”
That’s for me,’ I thought la-
menting that I gave up tennis ten
years ago when my competitive
spirit spoiled the fun of the game.
I’m determined not to let that
happen with golf And with my
early results on the few holes
we’ve played, there’s no danger
lurking of any real tournaments
in my future. That’s probably
why I’m enjoying the game so
much: no goals, no stress.

Next: Talking

Don would be the first to say
that I’m usually the first to dive
into any conversation, vigor-
ously defending my views from
the war in Iraq (a disaster) to

Westheimer

smoking in public places (of-
fensive). But I realized re-
cently that all that comment-
ing, defending and complain-
ing led to headaches, heart-
aches and stress. Now, in-
stead, I listen to V ivaldi on my
iPod, read more, comment less
and am a happier person for
letting go of my need to at-
tempt a witty, interesting or
culturally adept comment. Be-
sides, I began to see the ben-
efits of listening. I know what
I think, but now I give more
leeway for others, even will-
ing to accept that views other
than mine can have merit ( ex-
cept about the war and smok-
ing, that is!)

Some excesses I won’t
touch: my care for my hus-
band, family, my friends and
my dogs. But the rest, and oth-
ers too private to mention, are
definitely on the decline.
That ’ s why I’ll end this column
now before the word excess be-
comes another on my growing
list of extremes.

Ride the Algarve Way

They did it! The unseasonably
hot weather, a greater number of
participants and a wider range of
rider capabilities all combined to
make this a more challenging ride
than the previous two. However,
this was supposed to be a testing
ride to really make our sponsor-
ship well earned.

Twenty horses and riders left
Alcoutim on May 14* and sev-
enteen horses and riders finally
completed the 240km stretch to
Cape St Vincent days later. The
heat was perhaps the greatest
battle to conquer. A good supply
ofwater for both horses and rid-
ers was vital but not always easy
to supply. Although there were
plenty of flowing streams, the
riding team also covered many
dry areas where water had to be
supplied by the back-up team.

A challenge like this does not
come without some setbacks and
the ride proved no different. The
first equine accident occurred
even before the start where the
grey mare Runa slipped a shoe on
the tarmac and her rider was
forced to spend the morning in the
back-up vehicle whilst a replace-
ment was collected from Lagos.
At lunch time one of the horses
fell ill and was “trailered off’ to
the vet. Throughout the ride
there were a number of enforced
changes of mount, some only
temporary, as a result of heat ex-
haustion or lameness. No lasting
damage though, all horses soon
returned back to normal !

Whilst the first couple of days

were challenging for those not ac-
customed to sitting in the saddle
for 7 hours a day, no one really
felt the exhaustion kick in until
day 4, which in turn claimed to
be one of the hardest days thanks
to incredible temperatures of
well into 30 degrees Celcius. The
route between Messines and
Monchique had some long and
arduous hills. The back-up team
spent their day running around
trying to find water sources for
the horses. At the start of the day
one horse took fright at a fallen
wheelbarrow and the rider lost her
balance. An ambulance had to be
summoned, and although luckily
there were no broken bones, it did
mean the end of the journey for
the unlucky rider, who spent
days with severe bruising and a
few stitches.

Day five proved equally chal-
lenging, with the stifling heat and
55km to cover, it required 10
hours in the saddle. In compen-
sation however, the long and
sunny days showed the Algarve
hinterland at its best. The spring
flowers were all out, the country
side still verdant, stunning views
and the villages alive, scrubbed
and clean for the
summer. . .wonderful enough to
make everyone forget about their
sore backsides and aching legs for
just a little while. At the end of
every day, to revive flagging bod-
ies and spirits, there was always
a great dinner and an inexhaust-
ible supply of wine provided by
one of our many generous spon-

sors.

The final day was cooler and
shorter. The walk along the west
coast beach refreshed the riders
as the smell of the sea meant they

were close to achieving their goal.
At four in the afternoon on Sat-
urday May 19*, seventeen riders
arrived at Cape St Vincent after
covering 240kms across the Al-

Twenty horses and riders left Alcoutim on May 14*'^ and
seventeen horses and riders finally completed the 240km
stretch to Cape St Vincent 6 days later.

Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and
every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9.
That’s all there is to it.

There’s no maths involved. The grid has numbers,
but nothing has to add up to anything else.

You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.

It’s fun. It’s challenging. It’s addictive!

Solving time is typically from 10 to 30 minutes,
depending on your skill and experience.

garve to loud applause. It proved
to be an emotional moment for
many riders, as most have a close
relationship to one or both of the
charities. An amazing feat to
achieve and both the PSP Foun-
dation and Riding for the Disabled
in the Algarve will benefit tre-
mendously from this team effort.
PSP (Progressive Supranuclear
Palsy) is a degenerative disease
which, in its early stages, is simi-
lar to Parkinson’s. The average
life expectancy from the onset of
PSP is 6 or 7 years, during which
time the affected person will suf-
fer from symptoms including fall-
ing; difficulty in walking and in
swallowing food; and drastic
mood swings and changes in be-
haviour. Little funding is avail-
able for research into this harrow-
ing and - so far- always fatal dis-
ease. Riding for the Disabled at
Pinetrees riding centre
(Almancil) and QPA riding cen-
tre in Bensafrim, has proved to
benefit people of all ages, but
particularly children, with a va-
riety of physical and mental dis-
abilities, as they are encouraged
to ride. The emotional interaction
with the pony, the physical co-
ordination required and the chal-
lenge of conquering anew skill can
all provide tremendous stimuli to
the rider.

None of this would have been
achieved without the help of
many individuals and many com-
panies. Without the generous
sponsorship received this ride
would not have beenpossible. We
congratulate the riders and most
of all their equine friends who car-
ried them all this way. The back
up teams and volunteers were

priceless. We thank our sponsors
for endless support and the fol-
lowing companies greatly attrib-
uted to the ride : Govemador Civil,

centres for Faro

Faro city hall has recently an-
nounced that the municipality is
soon to have eight new social
centers, amongst which will be
day care centers, homes for the
elderly and infants’ creches, rep-
resenting an investment of five
million euros.

In a press release. Faro City
Hall confirmed the go-ahead of
the new infrastructures and ex-
plained how they would in-
crease present availability in
such establishments by up to 30
per cent. A day centre for
Alzheimer sufferers and a self-

sufficient home for the Regional
Association for Cerebral Palsy
are two of the much-needed
projects that will be given life
through the PARES II program,
an investment fund that aims to
expand and improve social wel-
fare throughout the region.

Faro’s Santa Casa da
Misericordia will benefit from a
new elderly persons’ home and
home care services, and creches
are to be built in Santa Barbara
de Nexe, Vale da Amoreira,
Montenegro, and Gambelas at
the Algarve University.

Dangerous dog raid in
Eastern Algarve

Members of the Faro GNR
Environmental and Nature
Proteetion Squad (SEPNA)
earried out random eheeks on
dogs in the Eastern Algarve,
that are classified by law to be
dangerous or potentially dan-
gerous.

In many cases, authorities
found the animals to be unreg-
istered, uninsured, and were

walking the streets without
leashes or muzzles.

Forty- four fines were is-
sued in total by 3 1 officers in-
volved in the operation, which
was carried out from 1 6h00 to
22h00, throughout the cities of
Louie, Quarteira, Almancil,
Montegordo, Vila Real de
Santo Antonio, Tavira,
Fuzeta and the Ilha de Faro.

Faro airport
traffic on the up

A ten per cent increase in air-
craft movement figures was reg-
istered in F aro airport this May,
in comparison to May 2006,
said airport authorities ANA.

A rise in passenger figures
was also registered.

The UK still brings in the
most number of passengers to
the region, showing an increase
of 12.7 per cent in flights and

13.7 per cent in passengers, re-
inforcing its title as the region’ s
most significant market and
strongest driving force for
growth.

Ireland has also shown
healthily growing figures, as
well as Spain, mainly thanks to
the airlines new Faro-Madrid
low-cost route, operating since
November 2006.

Hotel sales go up

In comparison to last year’s figures, this year’s month of
May has shown an increase of 6.9 per cent in hotel sales,
said the Hotel and Tourist Resort Association of the
Algarve, AHETA.

The overall average for room
occupancy figures in May this
year was also superior to that
of May 2006, having shown a
rise of 1 ,3 percentual points, de-
spite the number of people oc-
cupying rooms being slightly
less than last year, suffering a

loss of 1,8 percent.

Geographically, Faro,
Tavira, MonteGordo,

Albufeira, Lagos and Sagres
showed the most significant rise
in figures, with Portimao and
Praia da Rocha having the low-
est.

‘Nobody’s Perfect’

The name of the next
Algarveans theatre presentation
may well be called ‘Nobody’s
Perfect’ but the actors certainly
plan to be word perfect when the
play goes on from the 5* to the
7* of July at Lagoa Auditorium.

This very funny comedy cen-
tres on Leonard, an unsuccessful
novelist who has to resort to a fe-
male pseudonym before finding
recognition. In order to collect his
prize of a publishing contract he
first has to convince feminist
publisher Harriett that he really
is his Aunt Myrtle, although ne-
glects to let father Gus and teen-
age daughter Dee-Dee in on the
secret. His masquerade results in
a chain of hilarious events in this
fast and funny comedy.

The author of ‘Nobody’s Per-
fect’ is the well-known author/
actor Simon Williams, probably
bestrememberedfor his part in the
award-winning TV series ‘Up-
stairs Downstairs’ as the hapless
James Bellamy. What many peo-
ple may not know is of Simon’s
long association with the Algarve.

Simon is the son of actors and
playwrights Hugh and Margaret
Williams who amongst many
other things wrote the very suc-
cessful musical ‘Charlie Girl’,
‘The Grass is Greener’ and ‘Flip
Side ’ . They moved to the Algarve

in the late 5 0 ’ s and even after her
husband’s death Margaret re-
mained a well - known figure in
Albufeira society throughout the
sixties and seventies.

Simon, along with brother
Hugo and younger sister Polly,
enjoyed many holidays with
their mother throughout this time
whilst embarking on their own
theatre careers, Polly Williams
eventually marrying actorNigel
Havers then tragically dying of
cancer just three years ago.

Simon, a very busy actor, has
also written two novels ‘Talking
Oscars’ and ‘Kill the Lights’
which both made the best seller
list - he has also written 6 stage
plays and will be appearing later
this year in ITV’ s production of
‘Diamond Geezer’ and in ‘The
Commander’ with Amanda
Burton. He was looking forward
enormously to actually seeing the
‘Algarveans’ production and
coming to the opening night on
Thursday July 5* but a last
minute change in his TV sched-
ule has unfortunately prevented
him, although brother Hugo will
still be coming.

The Algarveans have been pro-
ducing quality pantomimes and
plays for 16 years and are very
proud of their reputation. Please
continue to support their pro-

ductions. Tickets are on sale now
at€l 0 for adults€5 foryoungpeo-
ple and can be booked on 282 789

608 or 289 561 594. Book early
to be sure of a ticket.

German tourist missing in Alcoutim

A 69-year-old German tour-
ist has been missing in the re-
gion of Alcoutim since Satur-
day. Despite search and rescue
teams using all means to find the
German, including a helicopter,
no sign was found. GNR are

now investigating the case.

A further 37 specialist inves-
tigators and officers were sent
earlier this week to boost efforts
in finding the man. It is thought
that he disappeared whilst walk-
ing an eight-kilometre path from

Balurcos, where he was holiday-
ing with his wife and friends, to
an ‘Arts and Crafts’ fair in
Alcoutim.

His wife and friends were
awaiting his arrival, having made
the j ourney by car, and when the

man failed to turn up, they
alerted authorities.

Despite seemingly having dis-
appeared without trace, police
confirm that, for now, there are
no suspicions of criminal activ-
ity.

The Algarve Wine Society goes to France

The Valley of the Loire is well known as one of France’s most beautiful,
and historic, areas. It is also a most interesting wine producing region.
Last week Erla Walther, President of the Algarve Wine Society, led a
group of 15 members on a voyage of exploration and discovery in the
Loire area and, in spite of a bit of inclement weather, enthusiasm ran
high throughout.

side on the lawn in the late after-
noon sunshine enj oying the deli-
eious food and wine produeed by
the Club.

Mrs Judith Murray aecompa-
nied Mr Alex McGee who sang

lowed this with the Portuguese
National Anthem - arousing cul-
mination to a splendid evening -
though it was much later when
the last guests went home!

news

The fourth round of matches
in the Summer League took
place at Vale do Lobo, with four
very competitive and hard
fought games. The Alvor Larks
strengthened their hold on the
league leadership, with a com-
prehensive defeat of the PDF Pi-
rates by 49 - 2 1 , taking 9 points
to 1 and boosting their impres-
sive shot difference. Mean-
while, the Alvor Doves kept up
their challenge with a narrow 40
-37 victory over the Tavira
Tigers, taking 6 points to 4. The
VDL Wolves beat the Tavira
Titans by 32 -28 and took 8
points to 2, moving closer to the
teams above them, however
they remain at the foot of the
table. The Albufeira Bowling
Club Cats lost narrowly to the
resurgent PDF Panthers by just
two shots 34 -36, however the
Panthers took 8 points to 2 and
moved up to fourth in the table.

The league table has the Larks
on 3 1 , followed by the Doves
with 26 then the Cats in third
on 20 points. PDF Panthers are
fourth also on 20 points, closely
followed by the Tigers on 18
and PDF Pirates with 15
points. Finally, Tavira Titans
and VDL Wolves both now
have 14 points.

Next week the circus moves
on to Alvor for round five of this
interesting and enjoyable com-
petition.

The party convened on Sun-
day afternoon in Bourges, where
they stayed for the next two
nights in the Hotel de Bourbon.
Dinner Sunday evening was in the
excellent Restaurant Abbaye St.
Ambroix. Monday morning’s
first stop was at the winery
Chateau Tracy in Pouilly-Sur-
Loire where some memorable
pouilly fume was found. Lunch
in Le Jardin de St. Thibault in
Saint Satur in the Sancerre region
was followed by the day’s sec-
ond winery visit, to Chateau
Ladoucette. Dinner in the Res-
taurant Le Beauvoir in Bourges
rounded off a fine day.

Tuesday started with a short
train trip around old Bourges and
a guided visit pf the spectacular
Cathedrale St-Etienne, built at the
beginning of the 13th Century
and featuring some of the finest
stained glass in France. A tasting
and lunch at the winery Claude
Lafond in Reuilly followed. In the
afternoon the Mardon winery in
Quincy was visited, after which
the merrry band decamped to
Tavers, right on the north bank
of the Loire, where they dined and
stayed overnight in the Hotel La
Tonnellerie.

Wednesday morning brought
a visit to the nearby Chateau
Chevemy, built between 1604
and 1634 with that simplicity
and distinction characteristic of
the classical architecture of
Henry IV and Louis XIII. After
Chevemy it was time for more
wine and the group visited the
nearby Domaine de Montcy, fol-
lowed by lunch in the Manoir de
Clenord. In the afternoon the
lovely white wines of Vouvray
were explored at the Chateau
Montcour winery. Wednesday
evening the group were in T ours
for dinner at the Restaurant La
Roche le Roy (aMichelin starred
hostelry) and the first of three
nights at the Hotel L’Univers.

The next day, Thursday, fea-

tured more sightseeing and two
boat trips. In the morning a ride
on the Cher brought the group to
the Chateau Chenonceau, a jewel
of Renaissance architecture built
in 1 5 1 3-2 1 directly over the Cher
and later fought over by two of
France’s most famous
courtesans, Diane de Poitiers and
Catherine de’ Medici. Lunch at
La T ourangelle in Montlouis was
followed by an afternoon visit to
the Chateau de Vahner winery. In
the evening another boat trip, this
time on the good ship “Balade sur
Loire”, brought the group to their
dinner restaurant, Le Haute
Roche in Rochecarbon (another
Michelin star).

Friday was the last day of the
organized tour and it began with
a visit to the spectacular gardens
at Chateau de Villandry, which
cover 7 hectares with the epitome
of classical, formal French out-
door architecture. Later that
morning the Chevalerie winery
was visited, followed by lunch in
the Restaurant Moulin Bleu,
both in Bourgueil. In the after-
noon a visit to a final winery, the
Domaine Couly Duteil in
Chinon, was followed by the
Marche Gourmand in Tours. To
round off a most memorable
week, the group had their gala

farewell dinner in the Hotel
L’Univers.

On Saturday morning some of
the more intrepid members
walked around old Tours, while
the remainder bid their farewells
and headed off It was agreed by
all, that the food and wine con-
sumed during the trip had been
tmly exceptional. In fact, two full
pallets of wine had been pur-
chased by the participants at the
various wineries for shipment
back to Portugal.

The final event in the Algarve
Wine Society’s spring calendar
will be on Sunday June 1 7 . There
is a golf outing for 28 members at
the Costa Esuri course in
Ayamonte, followed by the an-
nual summer party, at which 80
members will be carousing late
into the night at the Parador at
Ayamonte. AWS activities will
resume in September with the
start of the Society’s autumn
program.

ginning of Summer.

A sumptuous buffet lunch was

Twelve-year-old Alexis
Thompson has become the
youngest golfer ever to
qualify for the United
States Women’s Open.

Thompson, from Coral
Springs, had rounds of 72 and
7 1 to finish sixth in the quali-
fier at Heathrow Country Club
in her home state Florida.

She is seven months younger
than previous record holder
Morgan Pressel, whose first US
Open appearance in 200 1 came
on the same Pine Needles
course where this year’s cham-
pionship takes place on June
28-July 1.

England’s Johanna Head,
Scot Janice Moodie, former
winner Liselotte Neumann and
her fellow Swedes Carin Koch
and Maria Hjorth also quali-
fied, but Annika Sorenstam’s
sister Charlotta just missed out.

Tavira Fund Raisers BBQ &
Dance

SIR, We are grateful for the
opportunity, through this open
letter, to express our sineere grati-
tude to the generous people who
eontinue to support our fund-
raising events in and around
Tavira. With their help we were
able to raise €12,000 last year to
give to the Canil de Sao Franeiseo
de Assis at Louie.

The faeilities at the eanil are
eonstantly being improved for
the hundreds of eats and dogs
(plus a few donkeys) who are
housed and eared for there. With-
out the eanil, these animals would
be living in a state of negleet or
eruelty, or be left to roam the
eountryside seavenging for food.
The task of earing for these ani-
mals is on-going and, unfortu-
nately, ever expanding.

We need to go on raising money
so we ask readers to support us
if they ean. Our next event is a
BBQ andDanee on Friday, 29th
June at Tavira Gardens. Tiekets
eost€22 from Cynthia on 28 1 324
795 or Jose on 28 1 95 8 08 1 . Mu-
sie will be provided by Duo Toe
Luis.

F inally if you are looking for a
new pet, please eonsider giving a
home to one of the eanil’ s ani-
mals. Their eontaet is Linda

Whingers & Saints

SIR, To my surprise I am not
named as one the whinging eor-
respondents that Josh Pieree
would like to send ‘Down the

ehute’. (Letters 9th June). Al-
though generally believed to be
responsible for more rubbish in
your eolumns than most, perhaps
he doesn’t look on that as
whinging?

Well, how about Josh then?
Surely his letter makes him a
prime eandidate for his own
ehute? He has been here for all of
four months and already advis-
ing some ofus to go home ! What’ s
he on about? F or those of us who
have ehosen to live here, this is
home. Well, he’ll have no luek
ehanging anything in Portugal,
least of all the opinions of eorre-
spondents to the Letters Page or
Algarvean restaurant owners
who, knowing what tourists
want, offer them all day break-
fasts.

But I digress. Around about
now the Popular Saints are being
eelebrated. Two or three years
ago, tongue firmly in both eheeks,
I asked readers if they knew who
they were? I also asked if they
were aware of any Unpopular
Saints and if so who they were and
what had they done to be named
and shamed? If anyone didknow,
they kept quiet about it.

I am surprised both by the
number of Saints and the aston-
ishing range of subj eets of whieh
they ean beeome a Patron. But
imagine the disappointment: you
have setyour heart onbeing some-
thingreally maeho, like the Patron
Saint of Hunters or Paratroopers,
only to be told that you are now
St. Fiaere and for the rest of time
you will have to deal with the
daily prayers and pleas for help
from haemorrhoid sufferers!

Perhaps that is ‘naming and
shaming’ of a sort?

RON LAVERY, By e-mail

The pylon controversy

SIR, Referring to the pylon
eontroversy artiele and the letter
from Mike Hentall in the 9th June
edition of The Portugal News,
just who are we to believe about
the health risks regarding mega
power lines?

REN have stated to The Por-
tugal News that “inregard to elee-
tromagnetie fields there is no par-
tieular relevanee , ete ...”, but
what about, as Mike Hentall
points out, the effeet of the un-
deniable mierowave emanations?
Isn’t it about time REN got onto
the Internet to find out what the
World Health Organization has
to say about the links between
ehildhood leukaemia and high
tension power lines. Perhaps
they should also investigate the
reason why overhead 400 KVA
lines have been prohibited for
years in the state ofNew Y ork and
why other states are following,
the same is happening in the UK
- why? What do those govern-
ments know that we don’t?

Even if these mega lines are as
benign as REN say, what about
the devastating stress these lines
have on the population living
nearby. They see their property
values plummet to zero as soon
as they are ereeted - and from the
TPN artiele we now know just
how quiekly they ean be put up.
Imagine how the blood pressure
of the distraught Mr. and Mrs.
Cave went up when they arrived
home after a day out to find that
a 150 KVA tower had been
ereeted just outside their garden
boundary, but just imagine how
they would be feeling if it was a
double tower with 400 + 150
KVA lines as planned for the
population living in and around
Vale Fuzeiros!

There is one question whieh

nobody seems to have asked -
why on earth does the Algarve
need sueh massive amounts of
energy - does the government
plan to open a huge heavy indus-
trial park? We know that the Al-
garve is in a phase of (unsustain-
able) expansion, but surely the
large number of golf eourses and
hotels planned don’t require sueh
vast amounts of eleetrieity? We
hear so mueh about global warm-
ing now beeoming a reality that
these future hotels and resorts
should be foreed by the govern-
ment to invest in alternative en-
ergy equipment.

Anyone who has walked The
Algarve Way trail will have seen
that beyond the Funeho and Arade
Dams there are kilometres ofbar-
ren, unpopulated and unforested
hills - for eertain REN ean find a
narrow eorridor in that area to take
their power lines down to the new
Portimao substation. It is a trag-
edy that they have ehosen a south-
ern eorridor affeeting The Algarve
Way route and going straight
through a populated area of out-
standing beauty, whieh is not
only rieh in arehaeological sites,
but has a truly amazing variety of
bird speeies.

I live in Vale Fuzeiros not far
from deep, afforested valleys, one
of whieh is ealled V ale de Aguia
(Eagle Valley). This area is home
to a large number of raptors in-
eluding identified Blaek and Red
Kites and Booted Eagles, (the
reeord has been approx. 200
sighted on one afternoon above
Monteroso Mountain). Short-
toed Eagles have also been
sighted. We haven’t spotted a
Bonelli’s Eagle yet, but I’m out
looking for that distinetive white
eollar, after all if they are found
to nest in the Vale Fuzeiros area,
the population may be saved
from these mega 5 5 0 KVA power
lines as, aeeording to REN, birds
have more rights than humans !

Debt, from p.1

by home owners wanting to ex-
tend the repayment periods of
their mortgages in order to afford
their monthly obligations.

As a means of eompensating
spiralling interest rates, banks are
eneouraging first-time home
buyers or those in their 20s to pay
of their mortgages until they are
80.

State owned Caixa Geral de
Depositos (CCD), reeently un-
veiled a produet whereby a 60-
year old ean take out a loan for 20
years, while a 20-year old eould
apply for one over 60 years, en-
suring that repayments stay fixed
for the duration of the eontraet in
order to safeguard eustomers
against future interest rate hikes.

Other banks have indieated
they will follow the example set
by CCD.

The Bank of Portugal, in its
annual report, meanwhile ex-
plains other faetors, exeluding
soaring interest rates, have raised
its eoneems over the abilities of
families to maintain their eurrent
standard of living.

It eautions that the increasing
unemployment rate and instabil-
ity in the workplace are also fuel-
ling rising bad debt. This is cou-
pled with the fact that many fami-
lies had agreed to delay the start
off loan repayments by between
six and 12 months in contracts
signed last year, with the negative
effects of these deals now being
felt by consumers.

The year-on-year increase in
credit granted by banks remains
high, with the Bank saying it has
consistently been above ten per-
cent over the past 1 8 months.

The number of home loan ap-
plications were down, but their
value was higher in 2006 when
compared with 2005.

There was also a rise in the
number of ordinary cash loan re-
quests, which in many cases were
used as an easy way out of meet-
ing outstanding mortgage repay-
ments and mounting credit card
bills.

Another disturbing finding by
the Bank is that Portuguese now
owe 124 percent of their dispos-
able income. In other words, the
average Portuguese family owes
banks 24 percent more than wat
they earn.

Quick calculations show that
home loan repayments on a prop-
erty of €150,000 over 30 years
have risen by more than €100
since December 2005 .

With analysts predicting inter-
est rates will reach at least 4.5
percent by the end of the year, the
owner of the above property will
be paying €1 10 a month more
when compared with current re-
payments.

Meanwhile, latest available
figures illustrate that debt to
banks has doubled since 2000,
totalling€l 16.6billionbytheend
ofFebruary. Seven years earlier,
this figure represented 47 per-
cent of the wealth created by the
country, but has soared since and
now corresponds to 74.8 percent
of the Gross Domestic Product.

Last year alone, debt was ris-
ing by a staggering €1.67 million
an hour (up by 14.8 percent in
relation to 2005) and experts pre-
dict this figure has probably in-
creased again the first six months
of this year.

The 101.1 percent rise in debt
the past seven years, according
to the Bank of Portugal, is mostly
attributed to mortgages, though
personal loans have also gained a
larger slice of the market.

Debt arising from mortgages
has escalated by 113.6 percent
since 2000, while personal loans
climbed 79.9 percent over the
same period. Bad debt, mean-
while, has increasedby 82.8 per-
cent the past seven years.

Seven years ago, when the
GDP was worth € 1 22 billion, the
country only needed to work just
under six months to cover its
debts to banks. Based on the cur-
rent GDP (€155 billion), it now
takes around nine months of la-
bour to pay off banks.

According to the Observatory
for Debt, families are set to have
become even more entrenched
with debts, indicating that the
months of April and May are tra-
ditionally the months when fami-
lies find it hardest to keep to their
commitments.

The Observatory suggests
that consumers do not take on
credit superior to 40 percent of
their net income.

While Individual Voluntary
Arrangements (IVA) have been
available to Portuguese consum-
ers since last year, there are as yet
no clear statistics as to how many
private individuals have taken the
route of declaring themselves in-
solvent in order to alleviate their
bad debts.

Meanwhile, a European Com-
mission report corroborates the
findings made by the Bank of
Portugal and shows that the ma-
jority of Portuguese wage earn-
ers are finding it increasingly dif-
ficult to pay their bills without
recourse to state aid or getting
deeper in debt.

According to a survey by the
Commission’s statistics agency
Eurostat, the average declared
household annual income in Por-
tugal was only 6,000 euros dur-
ing 2003.

People living in the central re-
gions of Portugal were left with
nothing after paying for their
monthly rent, mortgage, food
bills and other household neces-
sities.

In the northern regions of Por-
tugal, and also the Algarve, the
picture was a little brighter with
households holding on to 1 0 per
cent of their monthly income af-
ter settling up their bills.

People living in the Alentejo
central region are the most hard-
done-by when it comes to count-
ing the number of centimes left
over at the end of each month. In
fact, according to the survey, the
greater maj ority of households in
the region have nothing left after
paying their bills.

Indeed, each household in the
Alentejo lays out on average the
equivalent of 1 03 . 8 per cent of its
wages on bills. It relies on state
handouts to fund the 3 . 8 per cent
monthly deficit and also gamers
the equivalent of a further 36.2
per cent of its monthly income in
government aid.

Commenting on the situation
in the Alentejo and other poorer
regions in the European Union,
the report said: “The results of
the survey show that the income
of private households is supple-
mented to a considerable extent
by general government transfers
which in the old 1 5-EU member
states now account for between
20 to 40 per cent of disposable
income” in the majority of re-
gions.

Social benefits in most areas of
Portugal make up nearly 20 per
cent of income, according to the
survey, but this figure jumps to
40 per cent in the Alentejo.

The Portugal News • 16 Jun 2007

Don’t worry, be happy

W e all worry but have you ever
thought about taking five years
off to sit and worry about your
health, your income, your kids or
the state of the country?

It may stress you out even fur-
ther to learn that you are in effect
already taking that astonishing
amount of time out to fret,
mostly about personal prob-
lems.

New research reveals that the
average Briton is spending five
years, two months in a lifetime
worrying - which amounts to one
hour, 46 minutes daily, and 27
days yearly.

The biggest worriers live in the
N orth East of England, with twice
the national average describing
themselves as ‘extremely wor-
ried’, but you’re least likely to
worry if you live in Wales or the

Southwest, according to the re-
search by advice website
ReallyWorried.com

Unfortunately, the majority
believe our worries are increasing
and predictably perhaps, women
spend an extra five weeks of their
lives stressing compared to men.

One in 20 women is ‘ex-
tremely worried’, but surpris-
ingly teenagers are the biggest
worriers, with an alarming one in
1 0 worrying for 1 2 hours a day.

Phillip Hodson, a Fellow of
the British Association for
Counselling and Psycho-
therapy, says: “Although wor-
rying has long been known as
our national obsession it’s
alarming to learn just how many
people are chronic worriers,
particularly as worrying is a
central part of all anxiety orders

and most depression.”

That’ s confirmed by statistics
suggesting that 26 million have
fallen ill due to worry. All too
often people fail to seekhelp with
their problems, with 28% of Brit-
ons bottling them up, and one in
50 driven to talk to their pets.
Only one in 3 0 seeks professional
help.

Hodson advises: “Talking
your worries through with some-
one - whether a friend, family or
a professional - can be an enor-
mous help and help people put
things into perspective. That’s
what people are finding so hard,
and it means they can’t take ef-
fective action to solve them.
Worry is the paralysing emotion
that leaves us like rabbits trapped
staring into the headlights.”

He believes that one of the

causes of worry is that in general
people have unrealistic expecta-
tions of their lives. “There’s a
belief nowadays that we are en-
titled to fame, success and a gen-
eral trend to constantly compare
ourselves with others. Conse-
quently people become over-
anxious and stressed and dissat-
isfied as they desperately try to
reach goals which for many are
unattainable.

“It might be better to recog-
nise that a lot of life can be bor-
ing, hard work and if s more ful-
filling to enjoy the small pleas-
ures and life’s journey.”

Richard Rubin’ s chronic wor-
rying inspired him to found the

Worrying is a national past-time for
Britons. The average person spends
27 days a year worrying - and where
you live influences what you worry
about. Pinpoint your worry, find out if it
matches your location and also how to
cope with life’s anxieties.

WORRY AWAY STRATEGY

Professor Michael Crawford,
former programme director of
Counselling & Psychotherapy at
Leicester University, says: “Nip
your worries in the bud. Try and
deal with each worry head on -
don’t let them dominate every
day, week and month.”

SHARE: Reveal your worries by
talking to a trusted friend and
discuss them, or use a website
such as ReallyWorried.com.
Don’t be afraid to seek
professional help if you feel
unable to cope with your worries.

Crawford says: “Writing

down worries is extremely help-
ful. First, try and break them
down into parts, ranking the
worries in order of importance.

“Work out a solution for each
task and when to complete it.

Plan a reward for achieving
goals.”

RELAX: Learn to let go andrelax
to help stop worries dominating
your thoughts. It helps if you can
finish work earlier, allow
yourself half an hour minimum
time to unwind, and avoid
watching TV programmes that
leave you stressed.

Crawford believes: “Exercise
has been proved through re-
search to create more energy so
you feel more able to cope with

worries, and is a distraction. Even
a ten-minute daily walk can
help.”

DIET : Cut down on caffeine and
spicy food. Avoiding alcohol can
help you feel better and more in
control so you can tackle worry.

Crawford’s advice: “Ifworries
affect your sleep, try natural rem-
edies to combat that, and try to
read a book before bedtime so
worries aren’t the last thing you
think about.”

Let’s go
camping
in Croatia

Blink while you’re skipping through
this summer’s brochure from
Eurocamp, one of the UK’s biggest
camping operators, and you’ll
probably never guess it operates a
small holiday programme of tents
and mobile homes in Croatia.

W ith political
stability in the
former Soviet
countries opening
up lots of new opportunities for

family holidays, it has just two
sites for mobile homes and tents
within easy reach of the main
resort in Poree.

I was initially drawn to Croatia

by pietures of its stunning eoast-
line and stories about a ‘new
Tuscany’ gradually emerging in

Istria, a peninsula in the north of
this eountry close to Italy.

But I was nervous about risk-
ing an annual family holiday there
so soon after the savage fighting
in the former Yugoslavia. So we
opted for the site at Lantema-
camp, barely five miles from
Poree, on the assumption there
would be plenty to do for our
daughters, aged 1 7 and 1 0, if they
began to get bored.

How would we get there? The
eheapest option is obviously to
drive, and a 1 ,500km from Cal-
ais long j oumey through the Alps
would eertainly have thrown up
some interesting highlights.

But we suspeeted it would be
hard to keep sueh a long j oumey
interesting all that way - even
with iPods and other gadgets help-
ing to wile away the hours. So we
settled for a Ryanair flight (£777/
€ 1 , 1 45 for four, return) to Trieste
in Italy, where we hired a car
(£380/€560fortwoweeks, from
Hertz).

From there, the 100km drive
took us through a narrow slice of
another new and emerging Bal-
kan state, Slovenia, so we crossed
two borders before eventually
reaehing our destination.

The eampsite is huge, with
2,700 pitches set in terraces on a
pine-wooded shore looking
aeross the Mima estuary and out
to sea. With its tarmae streets
with shopping parades and res-
taurants, elean numbered lava-
tory bloeks and daily refuse col-
leetion, the site has an air of East-
em-bloe munieipal effieieney.

Here, however, the queues that
form early eaeh morning outside

row and crowded, a mix of rocks,
gravel and crazy-paved patios.
Getting into the water is tricky,
because of the slippery, slimy
rocks and the steep descent. But
once you are in the sea it is fan-
tastic for serious swimming.

Elsewhere on the site is a bay
with a gentler slope and equally
calm water. Roped off for chil-
dren’s use, inflatables andpeda-
los are available - incredibly
cheap atjust£5/€7.37 an hour for
four. The site also has two pools,
one especially for children.

Prices in Croatia are generally
good, even in main centre resorts
like the nearby Porec. A bustling
and exciting Istrian hotspot with
a harbour, cathedral and narrow
paved alleyways that snake
among the Venetianhouses,the
town’s cobblestone streets are
spilling over with shops, restau-
rants, squares and the Basilica
Euphrasis, with its famous mo-
saics.

Whenever you spend, you
can’t help thinking how cheap it
all is compared with somewhere
like France.

Ice creams, for instance, start
at 40p/59cents. In a side street in
Porec, in a superb fish restaurant
named Neverin, a plate of grilled
squid costs just £3.50/€5.16.
Away from Porec, in a village
near the campsite, called Tar, six
of us ate an excellent dinner for
£40/€59, including wine.

One day we went to a very
smart inland restaurant called
Morgan, down a track in
Brtonigla, near Buje. Because so
many people come from Italy
especially for dinner here, ad-
vance booking is essential.

The local wine was superb, as
was our homemade methode-
champagnoise aperitif. We had
delicious antipasto, layered
sandwich-fashion, followed by
pasta and gamey ‘rooster’ in a
white wine broth. The main
course of wild boar and polenta,
with strong gravy andblueberries,
left us no room to try the pud-
dings.

A ferry from the camp site
takes you down the coast to
Porec or across the estuary to
Novigrad, providing stunning
views of the coastline, with tur-
quoise water, rocks and forested
coastal land.

We took a day trip by boat to
the Unesco-protected peninsula
town of Rovinj - with meal on the
boat and stop-off on the way back
in the Limski canal - for £20/€30
ahead.

On other days we used the car
to explore inland Istria with its
lush green slopes and ancient
walled hill towns such as Buje,
Groznjan and Motovun (this last
about an hour ’ s slow drive), and
the occasional terracotta-roofed
villages.

If you can live happily with-
out a sandy beach, this camping
holiday comes highly recom-
mended. It’s fun to feel you’ve
found a new holiday area ahead
of the masses - and the style of
camping is an intriguing contrast
with sites to be found in Western
Europe.

Bite-size beauties

Appetisers can be a fiddly and time-consuming chore before a
big dinner party, but according to Susannah Blake, author of
‘500 Appetisers’, published by Apple Press, priced £9.99/

€14.78, it needn’t be that way. She shares one of her favourite
bite-size recipes and tips for stress-free starters.

consuming in dinner party prep
than appetisers - those tiny bits
of food ean take a surprisingly
huge amount of time to plan, eut
and primp.

But it needn ’ t be that way says
Susannah Blake, author of new
book 500 Appetisers. “Good
timing is key to the perfect ap-
petiser,” she explains. “Who
wants to slave away in the
kitehen while their guests are hav-
ing fun?”

Susannah suggests cook-as-
you-go nibbles if you’re serving
at the kitehen table, where guests
ean ehat away while you prepare
food. If you’re entertaining in
other parts of the house, look for
appetisers that ean be prepared
ahead of time: dips ean be stored
in the fridge, salads ean be pre-
pared ahead and dressed before
serving and eanape toppings and
bases ean be assembled at the last
minute.

Entertaining ean strike fear seasoned host or hostess, and few

into the heart of even the most things are fiddlier or more time-

“Choosing an impressive, yet
hassle-free appetiser means you
ean eoneentrate on getting the
main course and dessert just right,
knowing the appetiser will keep
everyone happy while you stay
cool, calm and collected,” she
says. And if you haven’t updated
your appetiser repertoire since
the ‘mini onions and eubed
cheese on a stick’ days, then it’s
time to brush up on the new fash-
ions in finger food: Asian-in-
spired rolls and satays, tradi-
tional meze dishes like stuffed
vine leaves or grilledhalloumi and
Spanish-style tapas are all now
on the menu.

No matter what your ehoice of
starter, though, bear in mind what
they’re designed for, Susannah
says.

“Appetisers ean be wonder-
fully varied and still do exaetly
what their title says they will -
their purpose is to whet the ap-
petite and stimulate the
tastebuds. They should make the
mouth water, eneourage guests to
relax and help create a convivial
atmosphere. They are also there
to stave off possible hunger
pangs until the main event, but be
aware that appetisers should
never spoil the appetite. Instead,
they should tease it lightly by of-
fering a stimulating foretaste of
the eulinary delights to eome.”

time to make it. However, you
might like to try their Sizzling
Prawns with ginger and onion or
maybe Canton Spicy Duck, or
how about their sweet Thailand
Fried Rice. They are easy to find,
on the Almancil road going to
Vale do Lobo - look out for the
fishpond in the front.

Dolce Vita Restaurant Piz-
zeria is located in the centre of
Lagos opposite the Cultural Cen-
tre, between two streets - with
two different entrances ! The de-
cor inside is black and white,
which gives a fresh clean look.
Your host, Antonio suggests you
book a table so as not to miss his
Stuffed Salmon with Seafood or
Leg of Lamb served with a Red
Wine and Rosemary Sauce, as well
as traditional Italian dishes such
as pizzas and pastas, and a vari-
ety of salads. There is a bar and
a wide selection of wines on of-
fer. All this at excellent value and
staff who are friendly, smart and
helpful! The atmosphere is re-
laxed and in summer you can en-
j oy eating outside on their rustic
terrace amongst the shrubs and
flowers, or at the front of the res-
taurant on the pavement watch-
ing the world go by.

Restaurante A Ponte is a
newly-opened restaurant in the
traditional Algarvian village of
Alte, where residents and visitors

alike are invited to enjoy relaxed
dining in unspoiled surround-
ings. They offer a very varied
menu, including vegetarian
dishes, snacks and a children’s
menu. You can also choose from
a selection of freshly caught fish

long summer months you can dine

race. Reservations are advised.

The Don Toro Steakhouse in
the centre of Lagos, opposite the
Cultural Centre, has the finest
prime Argentinian, Irish and Bra-

your taste, as well as homemade,
gourmet burgers. Served with a
choice of sauces, the food is very
affordable and Jose and his inter-
national staff also offer delicious
fish grills, and a selection of veg-
etarian dishes. Whilst the exterior
is colourful, contemporary and
welcoming the interior has a more
subdued romantic atmosphere.
You can choose to eat inside or
under the stars on their terrace,
and to accompany your meal
they have a selection of wines
stored in wood barrels and pro-
duced from a variety of Portu-
guese grapes.

Harry Potter comes to Magna Carta

On July English bookshop Magna Carta will be holding an exciting
party at the Hotel Garbe, Armagao de Pera, the ‘Witches and Wizards
Breakfast’, from 09h00 to 13h00, to celebrate the launch of J. K. Rowling’s
latest addition to the Harry Potter series, her latest, highly-anticipated
novel, ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’.

Along with plenty of copies of
the sought-after novel, in English,
the seventh in the Harry Potter
saga, there will also be a dressing-
up contest with prizes for those
who look most like their favour-
ite Harry Potter character.

Hundreds of the desirable
books have been ordered, so if
you can’t make it to the Garbe,
or if you are or know of others
who may be visiting the Algarve
during that period, then place
your orders or reservation now!

Magna Carta has truly flour-
ished since its establishment
nearly two years ago. Such a fol-
lowing and demand has grown
that Magna Carta owner, Susana
Parker, has had to find new and
more spacious premises, luck-
ily, in the shop right next door!
Since May 1 the more spacious

new premises have caused quite
a few customers to do a second
take, but the extra space is cer-
tainly welcome.

As the only specialist English
language bookshop in the western
Algarve, Magna Carta offers a fan-
tastic range of books, comprising
constantly-updatedUKbest sell-
ers, avast selection of other brand
new books, an ever-growing sec-
tion of children’s books, as well
as an extensive variety of used and
nearly-new books.

Interestingly, there is also a
healthy choice ofhistoric and ac-
claimed Portuguese novels, by
authors including E 9 a de
Queiroz, Fernando Pessoa, Jose
Saramago, and international
Brazilian bestseller, Paulo
Coelho, all translated to the Eng-
lish language.

A useful ‘Buy and Return’
credit discount system is avail-
able, and special promotions can
always be found, for example, a
staple ‘buy two get one free’ deal.

Better still is the Magna Carta
website, a comprehensive and
engrossing website that gives visi-
tors an on-line shopping option,
as well as submittedbookreviews
and a Blog-joumal of upcoming
events and new arrivals. On the
website books are listed two ways;
by traditional category methods
(eg, romance, fiction, thriller. . .),
or their own innovative manner
(‘Beatthe Blues’, ‘For the Beach’,
‘Laugh out Loud’ , or ‘Present him
with a Book’ books).

Those experiencing computer
problems can also take their PC ’ s
into Magna Carta where compu-
ter-doctor Stephen Parker of
Kwik Fix is based.

For more information, con-
tact Magna Carta on: (+351)282
496 00 1 or e-mail info@magna
cartabookshop.com. Alterna-
tively, see web site www

rections: on arriving in Alvor
from the EN125 or A22 go
straight ahead at the roundabout
in the village, keeping the phar-
macy to your left; take the 2“^^
right hand turning and the shop
is situated immediately on your
right with parking bays in front.

Avid readers can also keep
abreast of all the latest ‘book’
news with Magna Carta’s free

Essentially Jas. . .from nature with love

One of the world’s best kept secrets is about to be revealed; the secret of
youthful looking skin. The answer was found right here in the sunny
Algarve, using the best of what nature supplies in abundance. And what
name does this answer go by? Essential Jas Oils... naturally.

Essential Jas Oils was estab-
lished by Jennie Storan(or Jas, as
she is better known in the Praia da
Luz area) some two years ago
when she made a few test bottles
of an insect repellant to relieve and
protect herself from mosquito
bites.

Suggesting friends and family
try it too, the remedy proved so
effective and popular
that it caused quite a stir
amongst the local com-
munity. Word of mouth
spread like wild fire, and
soon the product was
being posted all around
the world, many claiming
that no other repellent
has ever offered such
protection or relief

Jas’ latest introduc-
tion to her Essential Oil
range is a revolutionary
anti-wrinkle cream,
which, like the insect re-
pellent, is 100 per cent
natural and uses at least
70 per cent pure Aloe
Vera extract.

Having studied aromatherapy
in the UK for over 1 5 years, Jas
first started experimenting with
the anti-wrinkle cream four years
ago when she produced a sample
for her mother, who to this day
still swears by the product.

Lastyear, after becoming a fully

legalised business, Jas started
testing the cream on other vol-
unteers, all of whom were so
impressed they now use
nothing else.

Extensive research was
carried out as to how this
cream couldprovide long-last-
ing effects, as opposed to
‘quick-fix’ solutions that
regular shelvf-prod-
ucts often give.

One of the main
problems Jas en-
countered during
her research was
that 90 per cent of
most creams don’t
get absorbed into
the skin, therefore
her main aim was to
produce a cream that was
fully absorbed, and pro-
vided a gradual but long-
lasting effect, nurturing
and feeding skin from
deep within. This was
successfully achieved
and those who would
like to experience the
product for themselves can find
the anti-aging cream (priced at just
€25 per 60ml) at Vienna’s Salon
(Lagos), or Mary’s Health Shop
(Praia da Luz), as well as by or-
dering online.

Retail outlets for the insect re-
pellent now cover most of the

Algarve and include the ‘Water
Dog’ (Arma 9 ao de Pera), Book-
worm (Albufeira), Magna Carta
(Alvor) Vanja’sNail Salon or the

(Ahnancil). AllEssentialOilrange
products are made of 1 00 per cent

A new direction for garden specialists
Ecossistemas

B Even though specialist plant and gardening company Ecossistemas
has been firmly established for nearly three decades, there is always
room for improvement. Times change and with them come new
demands. So the company has recently undergone an injection of youth
to cater for an ever-growing market - landscape architecture.

Within the company a new,
specialisedproj ect design depart-
ment, incorporating landscape ar-
chitecture and project manage-
ment, has been formed to offer a
one-stop-shop for those in search
of their very own ‘ Garden of Para-
dise’.

From an untouched plot of land
to a creation of stunning beauty,
through the department unique
designs customised to client’s
desires are elaborated, complete
with imagery and detailed cost ac-
counts.

Rita Matias (See photo, right)
is Ecossistemas new landscape
architect, a profession that is be-
coming ever-more popular in the
modem age.

With the outside ofa home be-
ing as important as the inside, gar-
dens arenowregardedas an exten-
sion of living area, and must be
made full use of

Despite catering for client’s
every design desire, Rita advises
thattheregionin which we live and
the temperatures and seasonal
conditions must be taken into ac-
count when planting. She prefers
to opt for indigenous and regional
flora that will flourish and weather
better in local conditions.

Catarina Pereira is project and
accounts manager, andtogetherthe
two will help to raise the already
renowned company into another
phase of success.

Both have been with
Ecossistemas for just a few
months, but already significant
projects have come their way.
With considerable experience un-
der their belt, with fresh ideas and
solid knowledge of the area in
which we live, it is a welcome ar-
rival for those who want to make
the most of their outdoor area.

No project is too large or too
small, and in-depth consultations
with clients are given on all occa-
sions.

Over the years the company has
undertaken a vast number of
projects, tirelessly meeting spe-
cific needs and client demands,
always striving for perfection.

More recent projects include

the Victoria Golf Clubhouse’s
access roads, the Sheraton Pine
Cliffs Golf Clubhouse gardens,
the Quinta daBoaVista surround-
ings, and many other both private
and public gardens.

This new department will sim-
ply offer an even more specialised
and competent service.

An 11 page weekly guide to the latest and the best properties on the market in Portugal • The Portugal Uevjs • 16 Jun 2007

PROPERTY OF THE WEEK

Majestic in Monte Judeu

As the automatic gates open onto a large cobblestone drive, this week’s
Property of the Week is revealed in all its splendour. A stately,
manoresque style four-bedroom property, plus a one-bedroom self-
contained guesthouse, it sits grandly on top of one of Monte Judeu’s
rolling hills, overlooking the valley and beyond.

Symmetrically designed, the
property has a double front en-
trance flanked by two columns.
Through the main doors and in-
side the hall a sweeping central
staircase stands before us, made
of customised solid marble with
hand-made wrought iron balus-
trades, designed by a Swiss iron-
monger specifically for this
property.

Climbing to the open first
floor landing, the staircase is
overhung by a grand chandelier
also tailor-made inwrought iron.
In fact all the marble and
wrought-iron features through-
out the property have been es-
pecially designed for this unique
house.

Built to the highest standards
and finest quality, a series of
marble columns run throughout
the property, reinforcing its
grandeur.

To the left of the staircase
there is a beautiful, spacious
open-plan lounge with a large
fireplace. Steps lead up to the rear
of the property.

A second living and dining area
is located at the back of the prop-
erty, and beneath the large stair-
well, and to the left of the ground
floor, is the kitchen.

Of unusually large propor-
tions and with its own offset.

hexagonally shaped breakfast
area, the kitchen offers plentiful
space and light. It is fully
equipped with top-of-the-range
appliances, a central cooking is-
land, ample storage, a large, sepa-
rate laundry room, and over-
looks the Morgado golf course.

Also on the right side of the
ground floor is a sunny office or
reading room (which could also
become an additional bedroom),
a good size guest bathroom com-
plete with a walk-in shower, and
access to a basement room,
which due to its quality thermal
and acoustic insulation, excel-
lent lighting, and wooden floor,
would be ideal as a modem home
cinema.

Up the staircase we arrive on
an open, square landing, from
which the four bedrooms lead.
All the bedrooms are double in
size, have contemporary en-
suite bathrooms, large verandas,
and equally large walk-in ward-
robes or mirrored built-in clos-
ets.

However the master bedroom
is the piece de resistance.

With an enormous en- suite
bathroom comprising a walk-in
shower and a bathtub sunk in a
marble surround with a double
size window boasting views over
the countryside, it also com-

prises a separate dressing area,
fitted with intelligent storage so-
lutions and a walk-in closet, and
it’s own private terrace and
breakfast area.

Following its architectural
symmetry, to the right of the
property there is a double garage,
and to the left, an identical stmc-
ture that has been converted into
a one-bedroom, self-contained
guesthouse / staff quarters.

With a plot size of 13,500
square metres, the expansive
gardens are professionally land-
scaped, have automatic irriga-
tion, and further boast a covered
outdoor barbeque and cooking
stations, a covered al-fresco
seating area, and a large, heated
saltwater swimming pool.

This recently finished prop-
erty has attracted attention from
all over Portugal, including that
of a well-known footballer.

It is equipped throughout
with German toughened glass,
automatic window blinds, air
conditioning, and Internet and
TV connection.

Price on request.

Three new shops
opening this summer

Almancil, Lagos and Penafiel receive the three next shops of the
German top brand Engel & Volkers this summer. The increase goes

hand in hand with the established goal by David Scheffler, general

director of Engel & Volkers Portugal and Spain, to open 10 new
shops in Portugal during 2007.

Considering Cascais and
Louie, shops that opened last
January and April, already five
shops have been opened this

year and there are another three
lieense partners preparing
themselves to step into the mar-
ket still in 2007. So, until the

end of the second quarter 80
percent of the goal is already
achieved. And besides - nego-

Quick fix

Q: What's the easiest
way to paint stair
banisters?

A: The problem with paint-
ing banisters with a brush is
that it's fiddly and the paint
can easily bunch, creating a
poor finish. You can end up
endlessly sanding what you've
painted to get rid of the bunch-
ing and never getting any-
where.

Using a spray painter is a
good alternative, though you'll
need to mask off the surround-
ing area and take all the nec-
essary safety precautions.
You may also have to dilute
the paint to stop it clogging up
the nozzle. Your local DIY
store should stock suitable
spray painters, or you can hire
them.

Q: I've removed my
kitchen wall tiles but
have taken large
chunks of the wall off
with them. Shouid I use
fiiier to ievei out the
piaster?

A: If the damage is as bad
as it sounds, you're better off
using a plaster repair product,
which is formulated to be
easier to apply and smooth out
than plaster itself. Y ou'll have
to build it up in 5 cm layers and
apply it in a similar way to
plaster: see the manufacturer's
instructions.

Q: Aii my chiseis are
biunt: can I sharpen
them or do I need to buy
a new set?

A: Simply use a sharpening
stone, available from DIY
stores. This has two sides, one
rougher than the other, and
enables you to sharpen all
kinds of things. Wet the stone
first and start off sharpening
on the coarse side, then fin-
ish off on the finer one.

Create a herb garden

Whafs in store

Looking for ground cover-
ing perennial plants to give
eolour throughout many
months of the year? There are
several of these now available
in garden eentres for you to
ehoose from.

Vinca more eommonly re-
ferred to as Periwinkle is a
delieate looking, low grow-
ing evergreen shrub that eov-
ers the ground with delieate
stems that bear either dark
green or variegated leaves
with whitish edges, the maxi-
mum height in the region of
45 em. During the spring and
summer months pretty violet
eoloured flowers are pro-
dueed, often in profusion. The
green leaved variety is a na-
tive of shady woodland re-
gions in Iberia and therefore
for the best results the ones
mentioned above should be
grown in a good soil mixture
in partial shade. They are

fully hardy and do benefit from
periodie watering in the very hot
season.

Some of the Verbena hybrids
are very eolourful mat forming
plants with attraetive serrated
green leaves and bright panieles
of flowers that range from white
through pinks and reds to deep
purple during the spring and
summer months and well into the
autumn. The height is approxi-
mately 25 em with a spread of
half a metre or more. Give them
a good well drained soil mixture
and grow in full sun with water
on a regular basis during the dry
season. Mostly used as annuals
they ean also be kept for several
seasons but if you are in an area
that experienees frost, give them
some proteetion if temperatures
are likely to drop below -2 or
3“C.

Lantana montevidensis in
optimum eonditions is another
of the mat forming shrubs unlike

Madge and John Measures

the tall growingLantanacam-
era that is so very eommon in
many of our gardens. L.
montevidensis has, like the
verbenas and vineas, very slen-
der branehes and a sprawling
tendeney often reaehing well
over a metre in spread with a
similar height if some support
is available, equally it will
drape itself and hang down
over a wall or bank. During
many of the summer months
it bears a profusion of violet
flowers. A shrub that origi-
nated in tropieal South
Ameriea it does need a fertile
soil mixture and frequent wa-
ter, espeeially during the hot-
ter months and adequate pro-
teetion if there is the slightest
risk of frost. Like many of our
garden plants it does benefit
from an applieation of liquid
fertiliser on a regular basis
during the aetive growing and
flowering season.

Three
ways to...

Best of the bunch

Foxglove

With the trends in gardening veering towards more traditional
plants, we will surely be seeing a return in popularity of the
foxglove (Digitalis), an imposing perennial or biennial, pro-
dueing tall spires of funnel-shaped flowers in different shades
in early summer. Good varieties inelude D. purpurea, whieh
grows to 2m. and is great towards the baek of an informal, very
shady border. For a later bloom go for D. x mertonensis, whieh
grows to around 90em, produeing erushed strawberry-eoloured
summer flowers above attraetive veiny leaves. Foxgloves tol-
erate most soils

With the prospect of long hot summers many gardeners may be
reluctant to grow thirsty edibles - but warm, dry weather is well
suited to growing herbs.

Many herbs thrive in our
sunny elimate ineluding thyme
and rosemary. Mint grows well,
but if you are ereating a herb
garden, grow it in a pot or it will
invade everything else in its
path.

Perennial herbs inelude rose-
mary, sage and bay. Chives, fen-
nel and mint should also eome
up. Other popular herbs are an-
nuals and need to be raised from
seed eaeh year, ineluding pars-
ley, basil, dill, coriander, eher-
vil and borage.

The majority of herbs thrive
in sunny, sheltered spots so bear
that in mind when you are plan-
ning your site. But you ean just
as easily add some herbs to your
border to add eolour and texture,
ineluding elumps of ehives,
which produce pretty purple
flower balls and sage, with its
subtle leaf eolours.

Roek gardens, with gritty.

well-drained soil, are also ideal
for planting low-growing herbs
sueh as thyme, of whieh there are
endless varieties, many of whieh
have variegated leaves and pro-
duee small flowers in summer.

Rosemary, and lavender are
bushy perennials, whieh will
make neat dwarf hedges for
framing or dividing beds.

Basil, whieh tastes so much
better if you grow it yourself
than if you buy it from the su-
permarket, is a tender annual
used in mueh of our Mediterra-
nean eooking. It should be wa-
tered whenever dry and the
growing tips pinehed out regu-
larly to encourage bushy growth
and delay flowering.

Sweet basil and bush basil are
the eommon types grown, but
you could also try cinnamon
basil, anise basil and lemon
basil.

Flat-leaf parsley is mueh more

popular these days than the
eurly-leaf variety beeause of its
more intense flavour. A leafy
biennial, usually grown as an
annual, it ean be sown thinly
outdoors inrieh, moist soil in late
spring and again in late summer
for sueeession over winter. Try
‘Giant Italian’ for good flavour.

If you grow it as a biennial, in
its second year it sends up flow-
ering stems and produces seed.
To make sure you have parsley
for eutting, sow it in sueeession
every year. When the plants go
to seed, dig them up and use the
spaee for other herbs.

Hannah Stephenson

Tidy up bamboos

1 . Thin established
clumps by cutting back
weak eulms (stems) every
one to two years in early
spring. Cut dead stems down
to ground level using sharp
seeateurs. Removing
around a quarter or a third
should be enough to open
up and revive the elump.

2. To reduee the height of
a bamboo, shorten each stem
to the desired height, eutting
just above a leaf node with
branehes. It doesn’t want to
look like a sheared off hair-
eut gone wrong.

3 . Remove papery sheaths
from species sueh as
Phyllostaehys to reveal the
eoloured stems.

Exciting Essentials

“Camping at festivals is bril-
liant fun,” says Less Carr, author
of The Happy Campers. “At
most festivals there ’ s a great sense
of camaraderie, and friendly
mucking in together, especially if
the weather gets dodgy.”

But forget the essentials at
your peril. Carr lists the festival
must-haves for your backpack:

• Tickets and money

• Something to make your tent
stand out

• Dressing-up clothes to stand
out from the crowd

• Condoms and painkillers

• Earplugs and eye mask to aid
sleep

Ifyou’re going the whole hog
with the girly way to festival fim,
splash out on camping essentials
in floral prints, pastel pinks or
whatever floats your fashion
boat.

Pitching up overnight? Fat
Face’s goodies make the whole
experience more luxurious for la-
dies with the lime Laze Around
Chair, or Pitch ‘N’ Go three-per-
son dome tent. Oasis’ Gone
Camping range is made for festi-
val chicks who crave a funky
edge. Look to the butterfly print
two- sleeper tent, or butterfly
print sleeping bag.

Don’t lose your crew amongst
the bopping revellers. Get busy
customizing an eye-catching flag
for your tent.

Cleaning facilities are none
too common in the midst of fes-
tival fever. Neatniks can stay
clean and relieve their hand
washing habits with Cuticura’ s
Anti-bacterial Hand Hygiene
Gel. No soap, water or towels
required.

Avoid a muddy derriere when
it comes to lazing around swoon-
ing after your fave lead singer -
perch your bottom on Joules’
pretty floral picnic rug. Lie back
in the mud and absorb the music.

For a list of up and coming
festivals, see page 40 in our Box
Office box.

Festival season is fast ap-
proaching but ladies don’t need
to slum it in the mud. We reveal
the girl’s guide to getting pre-
pared and packed for a fun-filled
festival weekend.

Festival fever is fast gripping
the nation. Whether you’re one
going to Super Bock Super Rock
oryou’re heading field-bound for
some fun at another event, mu-
sic, mayhem - and probably mud
- are all in store this summer.

Ladies may be able to plot a
foolproof itinerary to see all their
favourite bands play during their
festival stint, but planning exten-
sive beauty routines and fancy
outfits are out of the window for
the weekend.

It’s little wonder some festi-
val chicks are quaking in their
Wellington boots. Without so
much as a mirror or shower
within a five-mile radius the pros-
pect of greasy hair, whiffy body
odours and filthy fashions is none

too savoury.

For some women, it’s impos-
sible to forget their girly roots.
But if preened pop stars and
supermodels can brave the mud,
sweat and tears, so too can you
with a little careful forward plan-
ning and some essential festival
shopping.

The girl’s guide to festivals is
sure to rock!

Festival Fashion

Half the fun of a music festival
is the fashion. Kate Moss set off
countless trends with her
ho tp ant s/waistc oat/we Hy
combo two summers ago that are
still going strong amongst fash-
ion-followers today.

With interchangeable weather,
festivals require the ultimate in
‘what-if dressing - it could be
scorching hot in the afternoon
with torrential rains and mud
baths by night. So what clobber
should you be packing in your

festival bag?

“Opt for layers and a light-
weight jacket,” advises Fiona
Huntingford, personal stylist
and owner of

www.stylestruck.com

“There are loads of great show-
erproof coats in the shops but
make sure it’ s light enough to tie
around your waist if the sun does
come out. W ear a vest top under-
neath a long-sleeved top that can
again be tied around the waist if
it’s warm.”

Step away from the stilettos
and steer clear of anything pale
orprecious in your wardrobe, but
don’t be afraid to have fun with
your style. Statement wellies in
florals, stripes or pretty polka
dots will brighten up your outfit
and save your soles if the rain
kicks in.

Huntingford says: “You may
look silly carrying them around
but you’ll have the last laugh
when it starts to pour down if
you’ve got dry feet and look
cool!”

Look to the fabulous selections
at www.j oulesclothing. com and
WWW. funky -wellington-
boots.co.uk

Bare-faced Chic

Any die-hard festival goers
will know that event fields are a
stomping ground, not a beauty
pageant. Leave life ’ s luxuries like
brimming make-up bags and hair
straighteners in the bedroom and
plump for practical travel and all-
in-one beauty options.

“Keep it simple and natural,”
advises Anna Bacon, marketing
manager at Lookfantastic.com.
“Mascara and lip gloss can
brighten up even the most tired
face!”

Look out for all-in-one pal-
ettes jam-packed with all the
make-up you will need.

Sporting eau-de-body odour
will not help your glam festival
chick aura shine! With limited
pampering facilities a natural,
chemical-free deodorant, prom-
ises freshness for three days, even
when dancing to the maximum.

As for your flowing locks,
“tying it back is probably the best
option”, according to Bacon.
“Even in the wind, rain and mud,
there are ways to ensure you stay
looking beautiful ! ”

Catherine Portal

Frenchwoman Catherine Por-
tal discovered a passion for pot-
tery while studying Philosophy
at the UK’s University of East
Anglia. She has been throwing
pots ever since and went on to
study daywork with Jack
Doherty and Sandy Brown.

For the last ten years
Catherine has been working from
her studio. La Poterie, in the gar-
den of the home she shares with
her English husband and three
sons. The studio she shares with
two huge kilns which push out
the 13 00° C required to produce
the deeply-coloured glazed fin-
ishes that make her work dura-
ble and beautiful.

She is also regularly joined
by small groups of students of
all ages and nationalities. Inare-
laxed atmosphere they slowly
master the art of coiled work,
wheel-thrown pots, sculpture
- and glazing. “It’s all about
what the student wants to do,”
says Catherine.

The results are remarkable.
Pieces range from abstract
sculpture, to a fantastical bird
house, to sets of dinner plates,
to salt cellars.

Catherine’s pieces have
been exhibited at Galeria ‘Way
of Arts’, Estoril, and Casa Sta
Rita, Sintra. Now it is the turn
ofher students : an exhibition of

the work of 14 of the students
will be on showon22 and23 June
at La Poterie.

“The students will be here to
talk about their work,”
Catherine adds. “And we’llhave
their obj ects all over the garden.
We ’ 11 also be selling the first edi-
tion of a calendar featuring some
of our pots. The money raised
will help build much needed
water storage tanks for a poor
rural community in Kenya.”

The exhibition is on at Rua
dos Coelhos, lote 59, Quinta da
Marinha, Cascais from 1 8 :00 to
20:30 on Friday 22 June and
15:00 to 17:30 on Saturday 23

My Chemical Romance - Lisbon

My Chemical Romance is an
American rock band that formed
in 200 1 . The current members of
the band are Gerard Way, Ray
Toro, Frank lero, Mikey Way,
and Bob Bryar. Shortly after
forming, the band signed to Eye-
ball Records and released their
debut album / Brought You My
Bullets, You Brought Me Your
Love in 2002. They signed with
Reprise Records the next year
and released their major label de-
but Three Cheers for Sweet Re-
venge in 2004. The album was a
major commercial success, sell-

ing over two million copies due
in part to the success of the sin-
gles “Helena”, “FmNot Okay
(I Promise)”, and “The Ghost
ofY ou”. The band followed this
success with 2006’ s The Black
Parade, featuring their biggest
hit “Welcome to the Black Pa-
rade”. While the band defines
their sound as simply “rock”,
the subgenre of the band’s re-
cordings has been a subject of
debate among fans and the me-
dia.

See them live on June 24th at
Lisbon Coliseu. Tickets are €25.

The Fantastic Four are back in
this sequei to the 2005
biockbuster. The superhero
team inciudes: Reed Richards
/ Mr. Fantastic, who can
eiongate his body; Susan
Storm / Invisibie Woman, who
not oniy can become invisibie
at wiii but can render other
objects invisibie; Johnny Storm
/ Human Torch, who can shoot
fire from his finger tips and
bend fiame; and Ben Grimm /
The Thing, a misshapen man
with superhuman strength.
Marvei’s first famiiy of
superheroes. The Fantastic
Four, meet their greatest
chaiienge yet in Fantastic Four:
Rise of the Stiver Surfer as the
enigmatic, intergaiactic heraid.
The Siiver Surfer (voiced by
Laurence Fishburne), comes
to Earth to prepare it for
destruction. As the Siiver Surfer
races around the giobe
wreaking havoc, Reed (loan
Gruffudd), Sue (Jessica Aiba),
Johnny (Chris Evans) and Ben
(Michaei Chikiis) must unravei
the mystery of The Siiver Surfer
and confront the surprising
return of their mortai enemy.

Dr. Doom (Juiian McMahon),
before aii hope is iost.

A Belgian criminal, wanted all over Europe for his crimes,
is in the custody of the Police Department of Marseille to be
watched for a few hours before transfer to a prison in Congo.
Unfortunately Emilien (Frederic Diefenthal) is tricked by the
villain and convinced to let the prisoner go. After these events
he’ s fired but luckily for him, his friend Daniel (Sarny Naceri)
helps him one more time telling him the location where the
criminal is located, having been the taxi driver who drove him
after he left the police station, not knowing he was a criminal.
After this Emilien gets his old job back by telling the
commissioner where to retrieve the criminal. He’s then
captured and taken to jail.

Taxi 4 (also spelled T4xi) is the sequel to the 2003
French Action/Comedy film Taxi 3. As with all the other
films in the Gallic Taxi franchise, Sarny Naceri plays
taxi driver “Daniel Morales”, this time in a Peugeot
407 unlike the 406 in the previous films. Frederic
Diefenthal is “Emilien Coutant-Kerbalec”, whilst
Jean-Christophe Bouvet reprises his role as “General
Bertineau” yet again. The film also features French
footballer Djibril Cisse. On opening day 450 000
people attended in France with 43 000 in Paris alone.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the
Silver Surfer is the second
installment of the live-action film
series based on what fans around
the globe know as “The World’ s
Greatest Comic Magazine”.
Fantastic Four directed by Tim
Story and released in the sum-
mer of 2005, had a worldwide
theatrical gross of $330 million
and became one of Twentieth
Century Fox’s most successful
DVD titles ever.

For Fantastic Four: Rise of
the Silver Surfer, an intriguing
element is added to the cast of
characters of the 2005 hit, the
Silver Surfer. Academy Award
winning visual effects house
Weta Digital (The Lord of the
Rings, King Kong), working with
the film’ s visual effects supervi-

sor Scott Squires (a three-time
Oscar nominee whose credits
include Star Wars Episode 1:
The Phantom Menace), created
the ultimate computer-generated
Silver Surfer, which will be true
to the Marvel Comics character
belovedby fans worldwide. Weta
developed an ad-
vanced CG process
to bring added
dimensionality to the
character. Doug Jones
provided character
and movement refer-
ences for the digital
wizards at Weta.

The Silver Surfer
joins the returning
family of

superheroes from the
Marvel Comics uni-

verse, including loan Gruffudd
as Reed Richards, who can stretch
and contort his body into any
shape he can imagine and, as the
group’s leader, is known as
Mister Fantastic; Jessica Alba
as Sue Storm, who is able to
render herself invisible and to
create andprojectpowerflil force
fields as Invisible Woman; Chris
Evans as Johnny Storm, known
as The Human Torch, who can
engulf his body in flames and
take flight at will; and Michael
Chikiis as Ben Grimm, whose

{«(»» Cult TV show Baffiesfar Gaiacfica will
end early next year, the program’s makers
have confirmed. The final fourth season of
the sci-fi show will be broadcast on U.S. cable
network Sci Fi Channel from November.
Executive producers Ronald Moore and
David Eick released a statement, saying, “This
show was always meant to have a
beginning, a middle and, finally, an end.

Over the course of the last year, the story and
the characters have been moving strongly
toward that end, and we’ve decided to
listen to those internal voices and conclude
the show on our own terms. And while we
know our fans will be saddened to know the
end is coming, they should brace themselves
for a wild ride getting there, we’re going out
with a bang.” {({(»» Meg Ryan, Annette
Bening, Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith,
Debra Messing and Candice Bergen are
teaming up for a remake of the 1939 classic
The Women. The cast members, who have
either signed up for the movie or are on the
verge of doing so, will be directed by Diane
Engiish, who has spent more than 10 years
trying to get the project off the ground.
Despite its all-star cast. The Women has a
budget of less than $20 million. The 1939
original was directed by George Cukor and
starred Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford.
{({(»» Movie star Cuba Gooding Jr. turned
real-life hero last month when he helped
save the life of a gunshot victim. The Oscar
winner rushed to the aid of the bleeding
man, believed to be in his 20s, after hearing
gunshots from his car, parked outside a
Hollywood restaurant. An eyewitness tells the
New York Daily News, “Cuba was picking up
dinner for his family on the night of Memorial
Day. He saw a young kid holding his head
and walked toward him. The kid was
bleeding from his neck and collapsed.” After
calling for towels to stem the victim’s
bleeding, Gooding Jr. hailed a passing
police car and waited at the scene until an
ambulance arrived. Gooding Jr.’s rep, Nancy
Kane, confirmed the story. It is believed the
victim’s condition has improved in hospital.
{«(»» Rocker Bono has become the first guest
editor of Vanity Fair, and has made his mark
by giving the July issue of the U.S. magazine
20 different covers. The crusading U2 singer
has published a special Africa issue and
gathered a galaxy of stars to feature in pairs
on the many covers, which were all
photographed by Annie Leibovitz. Among
those teaming up are Muhammad Aii and
Maya Angeiou, Bono and Jordan’s Queen
Rania, Desmond Tutu and Oprah Winfrey,
and U.S. President George W. Bush and
Secretary Of State Condoieezza Rice. {(«»»

Role models are an important part of growing up - and how parents wish that teenagers would
aspire to be like Marie Curie or Sir Winston Churchill. But sadly, mum and dad don't have a say in
who their children choose to emulate, and all too often they're inappropriate idols, to say the least.

1. Leave them alone to-
gether so daddy ean devise his
own ways of soothing baby.

2. Get him to earry baby in a
sling so they're physieally
eloser.

As with any other relationship,
bonding with your baby is a matter
of building trust and familiarity, and
this occurs naturally as you spend
time together. (PHOTO: Press
Association)

3. Get him to share feeding
- with expressed milk if you're
breastfeeding - and after a
breastfeed put baby in his arms
when she's drowsy so she ean
fall asleep there.

Little Angels

That's espeeially the ease in
today's celebrity-obsessed soci-
ety, when youngsters aspire to
be like the most glamorous,
trendy or famous person, irre-
spective of what they've
achieved or their behaviour.

Consequently, current role
models for teenage girls are
people like Peaches Geldof,
who's one of Tatler's 2006 Top
10 Fashion Icons and has her
own fan club. Yet she is famous
for little more than her parent-
age and partying lifestyle. Your
daughter may dream of looking
like her, walking like her,
dressing like her.

Then there's Wayne Rooney's
other half Coleen McLoughlin,
famed for her shopping sprees,
and former Spice Girl Victoria
Beckham, queen of the WAGs.

WAGs such as McLoughlin
and Beckham have just topped
a list of women judged by other
women to be the most inappro-
priate role models for young
girls, followedby Celebrity Big
Brother contestant Danielle
Lloyd, Steven Gerrard's fiancee
Alex Curran and Peter Crouch's
girlfriend Abbey Clancy.

A survey by the Institution of
Engineering and Technology
(lET) showed 91% of women
believe the lifestyles of WAGs
are over-exposed and portray a
negative image of women.

The research suggests more
than two thirds of women feel
the focus on WAG exploits,
their body image and expensive
'bling' overshadows the real
achievements of more positive
female role models such as
Kelly Holmes, JK Rowling,
Anita Roddick and Ellen
MacArthur.

Nearly three quarters of those
surveyed were concerned that
WAGs offer inappropriate role
models for young girls. Just 3%
saw Beckham as a good role
model for the young and only
1% thought this was true of
McLoughlin - unlike many of
the younger female generation.

The role models that you gen-
erally have to be concerned
about are those whose lifestyles
aren't worthy of imitating.

Commenting on the survey,
relationship psychologist and
life coach Corinne Sweet says:
"Role models are absolutely es-
sential - from the age of about
two, children start copying their
parents, and they are the most
important role models.

"But as they become teenag-
ers, role models move from he-
roes to sex objects or people
who look good. They want them
to be noble and heroic too."

But that doesn't explain the
popularity of girls like
McLoughlin and Geldof, and
Sweet explains: "At the mo-
ment young teens are all look-
ing to celebrities - they're the
new gods.

"But negative images of
WAGs, focused on shopping,
drinking and bling, can hold
young women back. "It's much
better if role models are achiev-
ing things rather than just aim-

Chiidren's Wear
Roupa de Crian^a

ing for money and glamour."
The best way for parents to af-
fect role model choices is to
behave as a positive role model
themselves, she says. "If you're
a parent who behaves like
Coleen, spending lots of money
and so on, your children will
think that's normal.

"But if you sit down with your
children and talk to them, re-
main a steady influence on their
lives and encourage them to be-
come their own person, you'll
be their role model. It's not what
you say, it's what you do."

Most athletes can serve as
good role models, especially if
they live their lives with integ-
rity. Try to subtly steer your
young teens toward these posi-
tive role models. Of course,
with the media and peer pres-
sure, sometimes it seems like
you’re fighting a losing battle.
Quite often, kids will choose
role models just to irritate you,
so if you make too big a deal out
of it, they're likely to radiate to-
ward their idol even more.

As with all aspects of raising
teenagers, you have to remem-
ber to choose your battles! Af-
ter all, even though they won't
admit it, most teens' favorite
role model isn't the one whose
picture is plastered all over
their rooms, it's actually you!

I know a lot of you do follow
the stories of my Water Dogs
and may have noticed I have not
actually contributed as much
recently. I must thank Julie for
working overtime to cover for
me.

The title should actually hint
at what is keeping me so busy.
It seems to be Dog Show sea-
son and we are in ‘overdrive’.
We seem to be off somewhere
most weekends, which then
leaves me so shattered for the
next week, I really am too old to
start a new hobby. The good
point of these shows, however,
being we get to go all over the
country and beyond, perhaps
the down point being the
amount of hours spent on mo-
torways. At least they are quite
peaceful motorways unlike the
ones we left behind all those
years ago. Wenever seem to find
a traffic jam. Except dare I say
on the N 125, fast becoming my
least favourite road.

Of course pre every show in-
volves me in the bathing and
grooming session. With Cleo
and her coat it takes me three
hours from start to finish, with
Merlin as he is still in his puppy
coat it takes half that time. Cleo
has become an absolute gem,
she is patient and just lets me
get on with it. I do not have all
the ‘correct’ equipment so I
end up with Cleo laying on the
garden table and I have to use
my own hairdryer. I gather I
could half the drying time with
a ‘proper’ hairdryer^lowerbut
they are very expensive.

Cleo just seems to accept that
Mum has to do this and never
worries, she has come a long
way. In January when she went
to the groomers she just shiv-
ered and panicked, she has ma-
tured a lot in the last six months .
I honestly never thought we
would get this far, I have the
wonderful groomer, Nuno, to
thank for her change as he has
completely relaxed her. Merlin,

WATER TRIALS ON SUNDAY

Just to remind you all that Water Trials take place this coming
Sunday 17‘** June at Ferragudo. The Beauty Contest starts at
approx 1 0.30am and takes place in F errugudo town. If coming in
tf om Portimao/Lagoa direction, as you get into the town turn right
over the first bridge, right again and then find aparkingplace. Look
for a cordoned off area in front of the cafes and lots of excited black
water dogs, you can’t miss them. Themain Water Trials are held
off the first F erragudo Beach, the one with the boats moored on it.
It is a short car drive away. There is plenty of parking available and
just look for W ater Dogs and people in wet suits on the beach.

If you need to recap on the aim of the game . Please check out our
web page where the details are all available, www.paws4pets.net

Look forward to seeing you all again, especially after the last
very windy trial we are hoping for calm water! !

well he is still very young, a mere
ten months. He is much better
than Cleo was at this age, but he
has less ‘ staying ’ power and fidg-
ets, he finds it very difficult to
ignore what is going on around
him. But, overall he is not too bad
and will allow me to do every-
thing that I have to do.

I now have some wonderful
long boots for him so once he is
dry it is on with the boots until
after his show ring appearance,
this keeps those trademark white
legs, white. He seems to have got
used to his boots now after 3
weeks and can still race around
the garden getting his boots dirty.

Jim has accompanied me on
two ‘doggy’ weekends which
was a ‘baptism of fire’ I feel.
There are hours of driving and
hours of sitting about waiting for
things to happen, when it does it
is all over in about 20 mins. On
the plus side as I have often said
we do get to see other places. One
of these weekends was inNorth-
em Portugal, the Sunday being
spent in the lovely Viana do
Castelo. Not only that, but the
Saturday evening was spent in a
fabulous farmhouse amongst
grapevines with views of the sea.
It was breathtaking.

The most amazing discovery
being that out of all the places in
the area people showing the
Bearded Collie were staying in the
apartment next to ours. People
who know me well will know just
how poignant that was. Two
weeks after that marathon a
longer marathon to Spain, it did,
however, take less driving time
than the other weekend.

We spent a couple of nights in
a place called Tmj illo about two
hours south of Madrid. This
town was so like a larger Silves it
was quite uncanny. The Spanish
show was the biggest I have been
to yet, quite overwhelming. The
good point being our two held
their own, impressed the Aus-
trian Judge and managed to
qualify for Crufts 2008. Quite

honestly, even if it is just too
complicated to get there, just
qualifying Merlin has been such
a high point forme. He had such
a sad and tough beginning, he re-
mains underweight and under-
developed for his age, he is just
a loopy puppy, but at least he
qualified. However, every ef-
fort will be made to work out
the logistics of returning to the
UK with these members of our
family. They are on course for
their Passports, that is the first
step.

Meanwhile, over the next few
months we are rushing about
putting them in every show we
can in order that they get the ex-
perience. Cleo now stands firm
in the ring whereas 6 months ago
she crept behind my legs and
shivered. Merlin just wriggles,
he is not nervous but just has a
short concentration span and he
prefers to sit than stand.

Ideally he will do his show
stand facing the opposite direc-
tion to the rest of the dogs, ob-
viously he thinks this makes
him stand out from the crowd,
it does but maybe not for the
right reasons.

Overall, I have said before
these Waterdogs are an abso-
lute joy to live with. They are
loving, fun, entertaining and so
loyal. They have wonderful
eyes with such expression.
They are highly intelligent,
learn fast and have boundless
energy. Jim and I are still fasci-
nated by them and love them to
bits. Changing to a different
breed is always very difficult
and we did wonder how we
would cope, but they have
brought us so much.

Life is NEVER dull. Thank
you Cleo and Merlin.

Pick of the Day

Jekyll (BBC1, 9pm)

At Christmas, the Beeb broadcast a revamped version of Dracula which,
although undoubtedly atmospheric, proved somewhat disappointing and had
little to do with the classic novel on which it was based. Clearly the corporation
feels it can do better because, lo and behold, here’s another Victorian chiller
being given a makeover. Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novella
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, this adaptation sees the action
transferred to 2007. James Nesbitt takes the lead as Tom Jackman, a married
man and devoted father whose life is gradually spiralling out of control thanks
to his dark side - the mysterious Mr Hyde. Tom, it seems, is a descendant
of the original Dr Jekyll, and as a result, is cursed with a split personality which
is threatening to tear him apart. Keeping his alter ego under wraps is becoming
increasingly difficult, particularly when his aggrieved wife Claire hires a
private detective to follow him each night to find out what her other half gets
up to. Could she live with the truth if ever she found out, and can Tom keep
his secret life just that? Gina Bellman, Michelle Ryan, Denis Lawson and
Meera Syal also star.

Pick of the Day

Sex, the City and Me (BBC2, 9pm)

This gripping drama proves there is more to modern city living than expensive
parties, high fashion and a lot of different men. Sarah Parish, Ben Miles and Sarah
Lancashire star in this slick and powerful offering about the barely disguised sexist
attitudes still prevalent in high-powered City jobs, and what one woman tries to
do to change the chauvinistic preconceptions. When Jess returns to her job after
a period of maternity leave, her Machiavellian boss quickly sidelines her
involvement in projects of any worth and further insults her by giving her a
humiliatingly small bonus. Embarrassed and disgusted at the treatment she has
received, she quickly realises she is being ‘managed out of the business’ and
has been abandoned by all her fellow colleagues. Appalled at her situation, the
new mum begins a campaign to sue the bank and risks everything, including her
marriage, health and sanity to get the recognition she knows she deserves. She
enlists the help of top lawyer Ruth and instantly becomes aware her advice to
‘trust no-one’ was right. Inspired by in-depth interviews from real women who have
fought against bigoted organisations and struggled to get their name heard, this
thought-provoking one-off will keep you on your toes right until the very end.

Pick of the Day

The Time of Your Life (iTVI Granada, 9pm)

Imagine being in a coma then waking years later to find that not only you,
but also the world around you had aged considerably. Well, that’s the premise
of this new series which stars Geraldine James. She plays Eileen, the mother
of Kate (Genevieve O’Reilly), who has been unconcious for the past 18
years. Both Eileen and her husband Toby (Robert Pugh) are stunned when
their eldest daughter finally comes round as their greatest wish has been
granted. Kate’s sister Susan (Susannah Wise) and school friends Sally (Anna
Wilson-Jones), Amanda (Olivia Colman) and Joe (Joe Duttine) are also
shocked to learn the news - but their initial excitement is clouded by their
reluctance to reassess the past. The pals all seem to have reasons why they
are trying to forget the night of Kate’s accident and who was responsible for
the death of fellow school pupil Brian (Ricky Nixon). However, the newly
awoken woman wants answers. But before she can conjour up any firm plans
about how to go about getting her life in some sort of order, she has a flashback
which sees her memory recover abstract images from the night she went
into a coma.

Pick of the Day

ITV1

Tony, Sedgefield and Me (BBC2, 7.30pm)

Tony Blair has been Britain’s second longest-serving Prime Minister and will
leave a controversial legacy, including highs from his successes in the UK
to the lows of the war in Iraq. As the leader prepares to see out his final
days in Downing Street, this documentary takes an intimate look at the MP’s
rise to power through his constituency in Sedgefield. In 1983, Tony Blair
was elected to be the new representative for the County Durham town and
has not looked back since. The programme hears from some of the people
j closest to the man himself, and those who watched from their front doors
I and back gardens as his political career gained momentum and unfolded
before their very eyes. As the world’s leaders and Labour Party heavyweights
descended on the small corner of the North East, people share their
experiences of Tony and their thoughts on his time in power. From those
who spotted his potential over two decades ago, to the man who makes his
dinner, the individuals whose lives have been affected by one of Britain’s
most contentious leaders, take time out to talk about what made him special
and what sent him into decline.

Pick of the Day

Keith Allen Will Burn in Hell (C4, 10.30pm)

A few months ago, Louis Theroux took a trip to Kansas for his BBC Two
documentary, The Most Hated Family in America. His profile of
Westboro Baptist Church, the home of America’s most fanatical
Christian fundamentalists, left many viewers seething over their radical
views. The clan also caught the attention of documentary-maker Keith
Allen, who was preparing his own take on the community. They happily
picket the funerals of US soldiers killed in Iraq, and preach that every
word in the Bible is true. If Louis, a relatively mild-mannered bloke, can
incur the wrath of the family, what will they make of Keith, a man who
courts controversy and loves a good verbal scrap? Here’s a chance to
find out as the actor, songwriter and director spends three days at
Westboro, during which time he exposes the strange mixture of hatred
and jollity that runs through their faith. Allen also discovers a secret
about the church’s chief spokeswoman, Shirley Phelps-Roper. Don’t
miss her on-camera confession, which forms a memorable climax to one
of Allen’s most unforgettable documentaries.

Pick of the Day

Glastonbury 2007 (BBC2, 8pm)

For many, it’s what the summer is all about. Whether it be under glorious skies
or in the pouring rain, the Glastonbury festival remains the king of summer
shows and this year’s line-up is one of the best in the extravaganza’s long
history. Although the Beeb is providing coverage across all of its digital and
radio services, this show on BBC Two remains the figurehead. Here, Jo
Whiley, Phill Jupitus, Lauren Laverne and Mark Radcliffe present from
backstage, on stage and even above stage by helicopter. The network kicks
off with an introductory show, before offering live headline acts from the
Pyramid Stage each night. Expect much excitement from the hosts, who have
all made their names as aficionados of great music. As ever, organisers are
promising this year’s event will be the cream of the crop. After a two-year
hiatus, the team behind the event have certainly been able to persuade the
biggest names in rock, pop and dance to attend. Headliners include Arctic
Monkeys, the Killers and even the Who. Controversial figures like Amy
Winehouse will also be performing, while the smaller stages will see more
obscure musicians and acts. More unexpected names on the line-up include
Shirley Bassey and the Waterboys.

It is well

Perhaps in today’ s vernacu-
lar the title of this song would
have been rendered, “It ’s all
good. ” I often hear my daugh-
ters speak this line to me as if to
say, don ’t worry about it, eve-
ry thingwill workout.

When Horatio G. Spafford,
a successful Chicago business-
man wrote the words to this
famous hymn in 1873, every-
thing was noi good - at least not
from a human perspective.
Having heavily invested in Chi-
cago real estate, Horatio lost
most of his holdings as a result
of the Chicago fire of 1 87 1 . In
1873 he arranged to take his
family to Europe. Horatio was
a close friend of the famous
evangelist D.L. Moody and
planned to attend his evangelis-
tic meeting in England. He and
his family would enj oy a vaca-
tion after the meetings.

At the last minute, urgent
business kept Spafford home
from the trip, but he sent his
wife and four daughters ahead
on the ^.^.Villedu Havre, plan-
ning to soon follow. However,
on the night of November 22,
1873, an iron English sailing
vessel struck the great ship.
Within the span of 1 2 minutes,
the ship sank killing 226 of the
273 passengers. Only 47 pas-
sengers survived. Spafford’ s
wife was found nearly uncon-
scious, clinging to a piece of the
wreckage. However, all four of
their daughters had perished.

When she reached land, she
sent this brief cable to her hus-
band. “Saved alone, what shall
Ido?” Horatio immediately

with Joyce Voelker

boarded a vessel to j oin his wife
in Wales. On the journey the
ship’s captain pointed out the
place where he believed the
othervessel had gone down. In
his cabin later the same day
Spafford wrote, “It is well; the
will of God be done.” Later he
transformed those few lines
into the hymn titled “It is Well
with My Soul.” The lyrics
speak of the comfort God gives
no matter the circumstances in
our lives. Instead of dwelling on
tragedy, this great hymn fo-
cuses our attention on Christ’ s
redemptive work on the cross.
Philip P. Bliss, a prolific writer
of early gospel music was so
impressed with the experience
and the expression of
Spafford’ s text that he com-
posed the now famous music.
This hymn, first published in
1876 still ministers mightily to
hearts and souls.

“When sorrows like sea bil-
lows roll — whatever my lot.
Thou hast taught me to say, it is
well, it is well with my soul!”

Are you and I truthfully able
to say with Horatio Spafford,
“It is well with my soul,” no
matter what circumstances God
allows into our lives? His rela-
tionship with God gave Horatio
this immeasurable inner peace
and strength. Do you know this
God of Peace? Would you like
to know Him?

FC Porto
chairman
charged
with

corruption

FC Porto chairman has
been formally charged
with the crime of passive
corruption, prosecutors
announced on
Wednesday.

Pinto da Costa, the most
successful chaimian in the his-
tory of Portuguese football,
has been accused of influenc-
ing a league match involving
FC Porto and Estrela
Amadora back in 2004.

Pinto da Costa had last
year been charged with active
corruption over the same fix-
ture, but charges were later
dropped due to a lack of evi-
dence.

Another FC Porto official
has also been charged with the
same crime, along with the ref-
erees Jacinto Paixao, Jose
Chilrito and Manuel
Quadrado.

As opposed to previous years when it has been heid in the Aigarve, this
year Luis Figo’s fourth annuai charity footbaii game was heid in
Lisbon’s Aivaiade stadium, where more than 14,000 spectators fiiied

the seats to

International superstars of
various talents took part in the
game, and not just sporting
heros. Besides soccer- stars Figo,
Zidane, Toldo, Ibrahimovic,
Geremi, Quaresma, Rui Costa,
Hagi, Guardiola and Chico
Buarque, international singers
and musicians Eros Ramazzotti,
Rui Veloso and Joao Gil also took
part.

Official figures show that the

catch a giimpse of their

game was watched by 14,287
spectators, who helped raise
revenue that will this year be do-
nated through the Luis Figo
F oundation to the M S V - Move-
ment in Service of Life - organi-
sation, which aims to open a cen-
tre of temporary accommoda-
tion for children who are at risk.

Figo, whose career has seen
the player j oin champion teams
such as Sporting, FC Barcelona

famous footbaiier.

and Real Madrid, recently an-
nounced the renewal of his con-
tract with Inter Milan, which
will now expire on June 30*,
2008.

With a 5-4 finish, the outcome
was an all- victorious one; the
stars put on a night of brilliant
entertainment, the crowds thor-
oughly enjoyed the game, and a
significant amount of money
was raised for a worthy cause.

The Portugal national football team has
climbed one position in the latest world
rankings compiled by football’s world
governing body FIFA.

Portugal has moved up one
position on the rankings to sixth,
above the Netherlands, England
and Spain. Italy remains in top
spot, while France has jumped
from fourth to second, displac-
ing Brazil and Argentina.

Portugal’s move up the table

is largely due to recent positive
results, such as the win over Bel-
gium and even the away draw in
Belgrade against Serbia.

The ‘friendly’ draw against
Kuwait seems to have not dam-
aged the team’ s standing as much
as had been anticipated.
